Amistat
As twin brothers, Amistat—Josef and Jan Prasil—share an unspoken and
unexplainable bond best sung aloud. Having just come off their latest sold-out European tour reaching an audience of over 10.000, listeners delight from the power of their bond coursing through familial harmonies and eloquent song craft accented by individual idiosyncrasies.
Born in Germany with roots in the Czech Republic and Australia (thanks to mom
and dad), Josef and Jan actually grew up in Italy until high school. After five years
back in Germany, they eventually made the move to Australia and founded
Amistat. In 2019 the guys planted new roots in their hometown of Rosenheim, Germany
and turned inward for inspiration.
"We're so different, but we unite when it comes to music," Jan observes. "We grew
up listening to the same songs. If you harmonize with a sibling, it's different from
harmonizing with a person you're not related to. Since we're twin brothers, we
pretty much have the same agenda. We never wanted to do anything else, because
we've lived a very similar life. That's what makes this so special."
