Daniel Landa (born 4 November 1968) is a Czech musician. Born in Prague, Landa graduated with honours from Prague Conservatory.[2] He began his musical career in 1987 when he along with David Matásek founded the oi! band Orlík, with whom he released two albums.[1] Orlík has been criticized for its racial overtones, targeting specifically the gypsy minority in the Czech Republic. In 1992 he began recording as a solo artist, with his first album being Valčík.[1] He went on to enjoy a successful music career. In 2012 Czech tabloid newspaper released photo of Landa giving a nazi salute alongside with other famous Czech singer Lucie Bila. Landa himself gave an explanation that he was only messing around.[3] On 31 January 2008 Czech prime minister Mirek Topolánek cited his verse Dyť i to největší hovado má svůj strop! (Even the biggest idiot has his limit) from the song Forbes in the concept album Smrtihlav (1998).[4]
