Fermata is a cornerstone of Slovak instrumental music, formed in 1972 in Bratislava by František Griglák and Tomáš Berka. Celebrated for virtuosic playing that blends jazz-rock with progressive rock, Fermata has crafted a distinctive sound across five decades. From early albums like Fermáta (1975) and Pieseň z hôľ (1976) to modern releases such as Backstage (2025), the group has continually pushed boundaries while earning recognition at the Slovak ZAI Awards for instrumental artistry.
