Obligatne is a Slovak-Czech jazz-pop trio built around singer, songwriter and guitarist Kristína Mindová, who expanded her solo bedroom project during the pandemic to include drummer Jan Čuma and bassist Štěpán Havel. The band released two albums on Brno-based Kabinet Records: the debut Monológ spásy (2022) and Emočne ospalí spievajú ľahšie (2025). The second record is also the trio's final one - Kristína is now continuing as a solo artist.
Obligatne released their second album Emočne ospalí spievajú ľahšie on Kabinet Records - the production was handled by Slovak composer Richard Grimm (Boh Vajec).
The second album is also the last joint recording of the trio - Kristína Mindová embarks on a solo career after it.
The single Princezná from the album Emočne ospalí spievajú ľahšie got into the rotation of the 13 syrových program on Radio 1.
Obligatne performed at Headliner Pontonu on Střelecký Island in Prague together with the band Favorite Obsession.
