Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is a singer from Barbados whose songs are influenced by pop, R&B, reggae, dancehall and dance music. She established herself on the international music scene with such smash hits as "Pon de Replay", "S.O.S.", "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off" and continues to demonstrate her potential with the recent tunes "Umbrella" and "Shut Up and Drive".
Her career started by accident after meeting the music producer Evan Rogers during his vacation. He helped her record her first songs which, in turn, sparked the interest of Jay-Z. As a result, Rihanna signed a contract with Def Jam and issued her debut album Music Of The Sun. This album contained the famous "Pon de Replay", her first hit issued as a single that made it to the top of the charts in Europe as well as in the United States. Equally successful albums followed, such as A Girl Like Me and her latest, Good Girl Gone Bad, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, while her song "Umbrella" broke numerous chart records in Great Britain.
Even though this is Rihanna's first concert in the Czech Republic, she is no newcomer to Prague. Last year, she visited this city to record a video promoting her hit "Shut Up and Drive".
The concert is organized by WTF Entertainment and Depo Crew.
Tickets are on sale at Ticketpro points of sale for prices starting at CZK 790.
