The new “anthem” is sweeping the Internet and connecting the whole of Slovakia
He wanted to be a Slovak during difficult times. That’s why he created a new song “Slovakia moje, otčina moja”, which is making waves on the Internet! The reactions were not long in coming, so many wish it to become a new anthem.
The author of the reworked song (text) is ITčkar Martin Pechovský from Banská Bystrica. He has been programming for many years, but when it comes to music, he has also been close to it all his life.
“I am a person who grew up in Slovakia and I have a positive relationship with it. I was wondering what about Slovakia and what is actually happening here, especially covid and restrictions on freedom of expression or democratic principles,” statement Martin.
His songs wanted to convey to Slovaks that they do not need to be afraid and that it is necessary to be united as a nation. He said he couldn’t sleep one morning and that’s when he got the idea to remake the lyrics of a well-known song.
Thanks to his work, he knows creative young people from Banská Bystrica, so he asked them if they would like to join his project. “One of them immediately set out to remake the tunes in a more modern way,” Martin recalls.
They put together the team and the performance of the singers, the song was then created in the studio in one night. Positive responses came almost immediately. Even Peter Pellegrini, who shared it, likes it. “He told me I play it when he’s sad or needs a kick!”
