Petr Spálený (born March 22, 1944, in Prague) is a Czech musician and composer who plays guitar, flute and drums and sings. He is established on the boundaries of rock, country and pop music. He is notable for his phrasing that sounds similar to a melodic recitation and for a mix of singing and humming the melody. He earned a strong place in the Czech pop music scene. He has been active for over 40 years.
His brother, Jan Spálený, is a Czech musician and journalist, dramaturge and presenter for Czech Radio.
Personal life
[edit]He has two daughters with his first wife, singer Pavlína Filipovská, Pavlína and Johanna. Pavlína is a journalist. His second wife is Czech singer Miluše Voborníková – together, they have a daughter named Barbora.
Career
[edit]His career started in the late 1950s in amateur big-beat bands. First, he played drums, then added guitar and flute during his military service. After being discharged, he joined Hipps, his brother's band, which later changed its name (on suggestions from Jiří Štaidl) to Apollobeat. Then, Plakalo bejby, the first hit song by Petr Spalený, was recorded.
Later, he worked as a composer, composing music for all shows in Divaldo Jiřího Grossmanna and also music for the TV show Zajíc v pytli. He was cast into minor roles in several Czech films.
