Recordist's notes

Rather new, or recovered tradition of the Carnival celebration happens annually Saturday before the Ash Tuesday as a join venture between Prague districts Roztoky and Únětice. Sometimes almost 2000 people in masks and with live music gather and join the procession, starting from the village of Roztoky and the other from Únětice. Finally there is a perfomative meeting at Holý vrch with dance and music and both then all continues to a party with live music in Kravín pub.
