Jenewein Group & Miroslav Žbirka
...Exhibition Miro Žbirka – Years and Days from Prague through Bratislava to Košice
The album Miro Žbirka The Last Things (Posledné veci) and the trio of concerts TRIBUTE TO MIRO ŽBIRKA 70 are complemented by the exhibition Miro Žbirka – Years and Days (Roky a dni). It is not only a memory of the career of an exceptional songwriter and singer, with whom we are connected by a long-term friendship and partnership, but also a celebration of his 70th birthday anniversary. Almost 30 panels and three hundred exhibits present Meky's life and work through stories that depict his musical enthusiasm, talent and empathy. The authors designed the entire project in such a way that it is a walk through ordinary moments and fateful milestones, from strumming on a park bench to recording at Abbey Road. From October to December 2022, not only fans of Miroslav Žbirka could see the exhibition about the legend of Slovak and Czech pop music in the Historical Building of the National Museum in Prague. At the beginning of 2023, the rare collection was moved to Bratislava Castle, where it was open to the public from February 4 to September 30. From the beginning of December until the mid-June 2024, the exhibition is open in the historical building of the Eastern Slovak Museum in Košice. Košice exhibition also presents exhibits that did not appear either in Prague or Bratislava. And since Meky had a special relationship with the Eastern Slovak metropolis, it carries something special with it. The exhibition was opened by Marika Gombitová, who at the same time baptized the new Memory Book Miro Žbirka Years and Days. And we are glad that we could be there again.

Tribute To Miro Žbirka 70 in London, Bratislava and Prague
Singer and composer Miroslav Žbirka left us forever but his music and legacy remain with us. They resonated very intensely especially in 2022 – the year when he would have celebrated his 70th birthday. In the autumn, a big concert tribute dedicated to Meky came about in London, Bratislava and Prague. Legendary songs and great hits were played and sung by the stars of the contemporary Slovak and Czech music scene. All artists who accepted pro bono invitation to the TRIBUTE TO MIRO ŽBIRKA 70 concert paid homage to the work of an exceptional author and singer. The concerts took place on September 23 at 229 Venue in London, on October 17 at NTC Aréna Bratislava and on October 21 at O2 Universum in Prague. Each of these concerts was an exceptional more than two-hour music and visual show, which celebrated Miroslav Žbirka's music in all its forms. The first invitation to the musical highlights of the autumn was a new song – Miro Žbirka feat. David Žbirka – Nejsi sám/Nie si sám (You Are Not Alone). The Czech-Slovak duet of a father and son who imaginarily passes on the music baton was edited by Šimon Šafránek. Among other things, he directed the award-winning music documentary MEKY, of which we are a general partner. This is the first song from a highly acclaimed album Posledné věci (The Last Things), which closed Miroslav Žbirka's more than 50-year-old author journey.

Jenewein Group as the general partner of the ceremonial release of the album Miro Žbirka The Last Things
The consulting group Jenewein Group is the general partner of the ceremonial release of the album Miro Žbirka The Last Things (Posledné veci). In the presence of Meky's family, friends and other guests, the album was officially released and "baptized" by the singer Katarína Knechtová on 18 May 2022 in Lucerna, Prague. This is the fifteenth studio album by Miroslav Žbirka who had managed to compose and record it before his death in November 2021. He did not manage to complete it but his son David Žbirka finalized his work with the help of friendly producers and musicians. The author of the album cover is the Slovak photographer Peter Župník. The first single from the record Miro Žbirka feat. David Žbirka – Nejsi sám/Nie si sám (You Are Not Alone) came out on February 24, 2022. We enjoyed this event in the company of our friends and partners like many other connections with Meky – our Czech-Slovak singer legend – which we established during our strong friendship and long-term partnership.

Jenewein Group has connected its 30th anniversary celebrations with the brand Meky
It is not the first time that Jenewein Group has combined exceptional moments in its history with a personality of popular music. On our 11th anniversary, Marika Gombitová and Janko Lehotský pleased us with their performances at the gala evening marked by a symbolic two 1 digits. It was no different at the celebration of our 15th anniversary. We have been much honored at our quarter-century celebration with a private concert by Marika Gombitová and now, in the year of our 30th anniversary, we are honored too with connecting with the Czech-Slovak legend – Miroslav Žbirka, as we are a general partner of his new documentary MEKY (Miro Žbirka Zblízka). We are glad that the Czech-Slovak birthday of our consulting group has met with Meky's year loaded with as many of his projects in the Czech Republic and Slovakia as possible. In the year 2020 for his fans, he has prepared the documentary film, concert DVD, next episodes of the music television talk show Doupě, Cinema Acoustic Tour 2020, his Songbook, or a selection of his biggest hits Best Of 3CD. Together with Meky, with our partners and guests we were experiencing the individual parts of his great Czech-Slovak program, which began on July 8, 2020, with the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (KVIFF 2020) and was last until the end of the year.

...Jenewein Group at the pre-premiere of music documentary Meky
The music documentary Meky, of which Jenewein Group is the general partner, was originally to have its premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. However, due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the festival was postponed to next year, so Miroslav Žbirka and his wife Kateřina decided to organize a pre-premiere screening directly in their garden. The private garden party took place on June 25, 2020, in Prague. Besides the Czech lion-awarded director of the film Meky Šimon Šafránek and the president of the Karlovy Vary festival Jiří Bartoška, Kryštof Mucha, the management of Bontonfilm, of Czech Television, and of the music label publisher Universal also attended the premiere. Among the invited, of course, was Martin Krekáč, the founding partner and chairman of Jenewein Group, with his family.

...Czech premiere of the film MEKY as part of the parade Tady Vary
As the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival could not happen this year due to the extraordinary situation, the organizing team decided to pass on at least part of the festival to its audience. And so, a complex film block was created, which was screened in almost a hundred Czech cinemas in nearly 80 cities for nine days (July 3-11, 2020) as part of the Tady Vary parade. The audience had the opportunity to see not only great films but also to experience a bit of the traditional festival atmosphere. The exclusive selection of 16 movies also included the musical documentary MEKY – its Czech premiere took place on July 8, 2020, at the Světozor cinema in Prague, while, on the same day, the meeting with its creators was broadcasting to another 95 cinemas throughout the Czech Republic. We represented Jenewein Group by CZSK assembly, and with our guests, we enjoyed the first great successes – the record-breaking attendance (during opening five days in Czech cinemas, more than 10,000 people have seen the film Meky) and winning the Mall.TV Audience Award as the most popular film of the parade Tady Vary.

...Slovak premiere of the film MEKY in Bratislava's Stará tržnica
On the evening of Monday, July 13, 2020, the Slovak ceremonial premiere of the music documentary MEKY about the singer Miroslav Žbirka took place in Bratislava's Stará tržnica. As one of the film critics wrote on this occasion, "director Šimon Šafránek managed to put together a dynamic portrait of a man who significantly exceeded on the Czechoslovak music scene due to talent, his intelligence, but also family roots and admiration for British culture". Many faces from the music and show-business world did not miss the premiere of CZSK novelty in the presence of the main "actor" and the team of creators. Invited by Jenewein Group, several guests from the business world also attended the premiere. The wide distribution of the film MEKY in Slovak cinemas started on July 16.

The music documentary MEKY, of which Jenewein Group is the general partner, after another summer screening in cinemas and amphitheatric areas, and very favorable responses from spectators and reviewers, had another ceremonial screening at the Lucerna cinema on September 3, 2020. This time in connection with the christening of the representative 3CD The Best of Miro Žbirka and Songbook, which are a continuation of the recapitulation of Miroslav Žbirka's more than forty years of successful acting on the Czech-Slovak music scene. The selection of greatest hits on three CDs contains 68 tracks, and the book includes 180 lyrics with guitar chords. Each album has its own authentic story, which, according to Meky's narration, was written by renowned Czech music publicist Václav Hnátek. In Bratislava, Meky presented a 3CD and a Songbook at an autograph session on September 18, 2020, in Panta Rhei, together with Kamil Peteraj, who celebrated his 75th birthday on this very day. Together with our partners and guests, we also enjoyed these parts of the huge Czech-Slovak tour.

We can undoubtedly describe Miroslav Žbirka as a legend in the Czech-Slovak art world. And in 2020, the year of Jenewein Group's 30th anniversary, we are pleased that an excellent documentary is going on DVD, even with special bonuses.
