Biography

Radim Hladík, born on December 13, 1946, in Prague, Czechoslovakia, was a guitarist known for his distinctive rock and jazz-fusion electric sound. He began playing guitar at age 15 with the group Komety before joining The Matadors with Vladimír Mišík. In 1968, Hladík and Mišík formed the Blue Effect, initially known for their blues-influenced beat music. After Mišík's departure, Hladík led the band into jazz fusion and progressive rock territories. Notable collaborations include work with Marián Varga and Pavol Hammel. His signature composition "Čajovna" from the 1975 album Modrý efekt & Radim Hladík became one of his most recognized works. In 1979, he recorded "Šaty z šátků", the winning song of the annual music contest Bratislavská lýra. Hladík remained active until his death on December 4, 2016.
