TTwin brothers Josef and Jan Prasil were born in Germany but grew up in Italy. Their parents have roots in the Czech Republic and Australia. Seeking to advance their music career, they later moved to Australia. In 2019, the duo decided to relocate back to Europe.

Amistat's musical identity finds resonance in the modern soundscapes reminiscent of Simon and Garfunkel, while drawing influence from artists like Ben Howard, Kings of Convenience, and Kodaline. Their music truly comes to life in a live setting, offering a haven for emotional connection, healing, and inspiration. Their vocal harmonies, which result from the interplay of their distinct personalities and musical inclinations, create a distinctive synergy that's best experienced firsthand.

Their lyrics are deeply authentic and reflect the wisdom they've gathered from their experiences in life and love. Their songs are a medium through which they share their personal stories and the insights they've gleaned along the way, many of which were written during their travels.

As twins, Josef and Jan share a unique bond that infuses their music with an exceptional connection. Their harmonies are impeccably intertwined, reflecting their shared closeness and understanding. This fusion is further enriched by their sincere and narrative vocal delivery. Amistat is able to translate their sources of inspiration, often drawn from their life on the road, into their music. Their sentiments, aspirations, and dreams blend seamlessly to convey a genuine and unfiltered message to their audiences.

In a world where authenticity and relatability resonate deeply with listeners, Amistat's music speaks to the heart and mind, offering a testament to the power of personal experience and the universality of emotions.

Since 2012, Amistat have released four EP’s, ‘It’s Not Words’, ‘Somewhere Sometime’, ‘Nostalgia’, ‘Love and Light’ and their debut album ‘Parley’ which saw them embark on a number of Australian and European tours including performances at some of Australia's finest Festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, National Folk Festival, Fairbridge and Nannup. The duo further won the Marton Guitar Emerging Artist of the Year 2018 Award at the Port Fairy Folk Festival 2018.

Following a two month tour with Australian band "Sons of the East" playing 49 shows in 15 countries, Amistat followed up with their own headline tour through Europe and the UK in autumn 2019 before heading to their second home Australia for a national tour. In 2022 the duo played over 150 shows in less than 7 months across 10 countries including shows South Africa and Italy.

Amistat's European tour in April 2023 was a resounding success, with packed venues across multiple continents. Their performances included sold-out nights at renowned venues like Munich's "Muffathalle" and Vienna's "Arena." The tour saw overwhelming support, as they managed to sell out their entire run, totaling over 10,000 tickets sold. Encouraged by this response, the twins are gearing up to embark on another leg of their tour, taking their music across Europe once again at the beginning of 2024 with maiden performances in the United Kingdom, Belgium, and Spain.

Join them on their musical journey as they continue to inspire and connect with audiences around the world!
