Eternal Seekers

In 2008, Lenka Dusilová, together with Beata Hlavenková and Clarinet Factory, launched a project called Eternal Seekers. They recorded a self-titled album the same year, for which Dusilová won an Anděl Award in the Best Singer category.[2] The track "Smiluje" was used as the opening song for the 2011 film Long Live the Family! by Robert Sedláček.
