About

DVA is a Czech music duo from Hradec Králové, formed in 2006 by Bára Ungerová and Jan Kratochvíl, both formerly of Divadlo DNO theatre. They describe their sound as "folk music of nonexistent nations" - an eclectic blend of tango, cabaret, beatbox and acoustic electro, sung in an invented language. Their international profile grew largely through game soundtracks for Amanita Design, particularly Botanicula (2012), which won the Excellence in Audio Award at the Independent Games Festival in San Francisco. In 2024 they released their fourth studio album, Piri Piri, and returned to live performance.
