Amistat

Speaker Bio


Listen to Amistat's eloquent song craft

this 21st October at the UNYP Arena!


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.

"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."

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.

"Since we're twin brothers, we pretty much have the same agenda," Jan explains. "We never wanted to do anything else, because we've lived a very similar life. That's what makes this so special."
