In 1995, together with young musicians (Emil "Bišu" Miko, Emil "Pupa" Miko, Jan Dužda, Deziderius Lučka and Milan Kroka, later he was replaced by Marek Miko), they created the musical phenomenon of Věra Bílá and Kale. Musically, they defined a genre known as rom-pop: sophisticated vocal harmonies with vigorous dissonances in a mixture of Romani folk music, pop and Latin jazz. Věra Bílá also acted in two films by director Dušan Hanák: Pink Dreams (1976), I Love, You Love (1980). In May 1999, with the group Kale, she thrilled the Czech-American audience in Washington D.C. and in New York, where she performed as the leading star at the festival of the Romani culture from Czech Republic. Music experts often likened Věra Bílá to the American black star Elle Fitzgerald. She died on March 12, 2019 in Pilsen, Czech Republic.
