Drupi returns to the czech Republic with a 2026 Tour, Remembering Hanka Zagorová and Karel Gott
Italian singer Drupi appeared on the 1000th anniversary Morning Show of europe 2, accompanied by leoš Mareš. during the live broadcast, Drupi fondly remembered Hanka Zagorová, describing her not only as a great singer but also as a close friend. He expressed regret that he didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye before her passing and admitted to mourning her death.
He also spoke about Karel Gott,noting that,like Hanička Zagorová,he sang several of his songs and helped popularize them with the Czech audience. When presenter Katka Říhová invited Drupi to sing their famous duet “Setkání” (The Meeting) together, he readily agreed. Despite occasionally stumbling over the lyrics, he demonstrated that his concert-goers have much to look forward to.
The Encounter: A Song That Survived the decade
The duet “Setkání” (The Meeting) originated in 1979 for the film Zájezd (Excursion). Initially, Drupi was contractually restricted from performing songs written by others. Though,director Ján Roháč insisted,and ultimately,the song was included. It became a major hit, with the combination of Hanka Zagorová’s delicate vocals and Drupi’s distinctive rasp enduring through the decades.
