Pavol "Paľo" Boriš (born 28 October 1954) is a Slovak small-scale wine producer and author. He is also former coordinator of hobby and artistic activities[1] of SZM local organization in Pezinok,[3] high school teacher and municipal councillor.[4] He is known as the second main organizer[5] and also the organizer of both years[6] of the Koncert mladosti festival.[7]

Biography

He was born in Šaľa on 28 October 1954.[4][8] In the summer of 1947, his parents moved to a house in the village of Neded. Since 1961, he has lived in Pezinok.[9][8][4] He moved here definitively on 17 October 1962 and as a second-grade pupil began attending elementary school on Fándlyho Street.[10]

In the early 1970s he met Ján Štrba on a train, who was carrying a large reel-to-reel tape recorder, and they became friends.[11] In 1974 he graduated from electrical maturita[4] and from 1976 to 1981[4] he studied mechanical engineering technology at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, SVŠT[1] in Bratislava. After the Koncert mladosti festival was banned, he was summoned for questioning as a co-organizer and punished by being prohibited from officially acting as a cultural coordinator of the SZM local organization.[7] His friend Ľubomír "Jačmeň" Janečka, who was the so-called sideman of the team of people around Paľo Boriš, was appointed to his position.[11] In the fall of 1982, he completed a basic military service in 65th Motor Rifle Regiment in Cheb.[12]

He was involved in the VPN. Between 1989 and 2001, he was a teacher of mechanical engineering subjects at the Secondary Vocational School (Slovak: Stredné odborné učilište).[13] He was a member of the town council in Pezinok from 1990 to 1998. From its founding until 2005, he worked on the committee of the Zväz vinohradníkov a vinárov Pezinok (English: Pezinok Winegrowers' and Winemakers' Association).[4]

Pavol Boriš during the Grand Opening of the Pezinské vínne pivnice (Pezinok Wine Cellars) festival in the Small Carpathian Museum, Pezinok in February 2017.[14]

In 2002[11] or 2003,[4][15] he became a chief[16] and a main organizer[17] of the newly created event called Fyzulnačka.[4]

Boriš' vineyards are located in Škridláky hunt (hon)[18] in Pezinok wine district (rajón).[19]

Together with Peter Bittner and photographer Ján Štrba, they are the authors of three books: the first edition of Pezinok – bigbeatown with a compilation CD (2001),[20] Koncerty mladosti ´76, ´77 – Československý Woodstock (2007),[21] and the second edition of Pezinok – bigbeatown (2024). Boriš and Bittner are also considered chroniclers of 1960s music in Pezinok.[22]
