The band Elán has now performed the first new song titled after 5 years touch me again. It was composed by band member Ľubo Horňák, the text was written by Juraj Soviar. Fans will probably have the opportunity to hear her live as well, as Elány is waiting for two big concerts in the fall. Another performance, in addition with a symphony orchestra, awaits them on February 7, 2025 in the O2 arena.
And that despite the fact that in August of last year they lost their colleague and friend Patejdl, who was one of the founding members of the group. They will miss him not only as a person, but also as a keyboard player. That is why they now had to find a replacement for him. He will be the musician Pavol Bartovic, who will stand behind the keyboard at the concerts instead of the deceased Vaš.
“I play with him in the Modus band. I already knew what he was, what kind of person he was and whether he would fit into our music.” he revealed in the primetime program Showtime guitarist, composer and singer Ján Baláž, why the choice fell on Bartovice. It was also Baláž who proposed this option to frontman Jožo Ráž (69) and he agreed.

Another adept was not even in the selection. And what would Patejdl himself say about his “substitute”? “I think he would agree, he also knew him, he knew he was a good musician.” Elani thinks.
Pavol himself is clear – his task is primarily to take over your keyboard parts. “It is a great honor for me to be a member of the band Elán. I take it with humility, but I’m not going to replace Vasa, that’s impossible,” stated for Showtime musician.
