Apart from its cinematographic, literary, political and criminal activities, the Institute Drahomira ordered the creation of musical ensemble composed of some of its most prominent members. The exact date of this creation is still unknown for today.
However, signs of its activities can be found in the middle 80's, although the appellation of "DSO (Drahomira Song Orchestra)" has never been mentioned anywhere before the recent edition of their works.
Indeed, in some "authorized spheres", a polemic soon appeared concerning the mysterious circulation of "musical kids" (or "musi-kinder") between different embassies of some Central European countries (according to Ferdinand S., a retired parliamentary attaché). The hypothesis of connections with the Institute was then propounded, though only few people could understand what the whole affair was actually refering to.
Considering the fact, that the major part of the Institute's activities (of any kind), at that time, was more than ever clandestine, and taking into consideration the close relationships that the Institute have always maintained with Czech Republic and its nearby countries, we can let ourselves suppose that the denomination of "musi-kinder" was actually used as a code-term to designate the obscure machinations of the DSO members on an international level.
Since then, magnetic tapes, micro-cassettes and CD-Rs have been circulating confidentially and very few people could actually claim having heard a DSO musical piece.
Some pretend that live performances were retransmitted by telephone and recorded miles away from there. Since none of those recordings have ever been found, we cannot prove the exactitude of these facts. By now, about 30 albums are supposed to be stocked in the basement of the Institute's french embassy in Paris. A few songs are available for listening on this site, but if you want to find out more about the DSO, email us, via the contact section. Besides, if any label is interested in publishing DSO's music, we invite you to send an email at this adress : dso@institutdrahomira.com.
