Hey r/Slovakia ! As someone who enjoys learning more about different cultures, I wish to create a Spotify playlist that includes songs from as many countries in the world as possible, and I need your help. List some timeless classics that define Slovakia culturally, and I will add the 5 most upvoted ones to the playlist.

Check out the playlist [here](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RvLkZGkF1wPtyqExf4BKz?si=d4VGKoRWQtCe5RzsuNJM-w&utm_source=copy-link) and the list of each country’s contributions so far [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/16H0t3yUk5XZQkWe9nNTnDvhTrJa5U1ane_dvIgdDzRM/edit?usp=drivesdk)

  18. Ešte som sa neoženil, už ma žena bije.

    Dám si, veru, prihotoviť tri dubové kyje.

    Jedným budem ženu biti,
    a tým druhým deti deti, deti, deti,

    a s tým tretím kyja-kyjačiskom pôjdem na zálety.

    I put this 🔺️ to artist who are widely popular and are considered to be one of the best ones we have/had.

  21. Among those that I haven’t seen posted here yet, and which are quite actual(recent, not 30+ yo):

    Para – Našou Krajinou

    Hrdza – Slovensko moje, otčina moja

    Both with a theme directly focused on the “country” itself.

  26. Lasica, Satinský & Filip – Keď som išiel do lesa na drevo.

    Ak sa započúvate do obsahu je tam skutočne všetko.

  39. And I’ll throw in a bit of side note, I might get some hate for it, but I’d say part of Slovak culture, at this point, is also Roma/gypsy culture. As a recent example I’d offer [P.A.T. x VladoBoys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRaeMAyc1DY) or Hans Zimmer recording music for the Sherlock Holmes movies [in Slovakia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wpL8f6dV7U). You also have [O mano](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAjtIeev5HU) which was a popular song of a Slovakian band Vidiek and Czech gypsy singer Vera Bila in the 90s. Rytmus also likes to point out his gypsy roots but I don’t remember him going “all in” with it like P.A.T.

  46. *Do Batozka* by Jaro Filip might be the most recent song with real political and historical influence.
