Dolchamar is a Finnish rock band that performs in the language Esperanto. It was formed in 1999 in London by Patrik Austin after his departure from Punaiset Messiaat, and instantly signed by the French Vinilkosmo record company, but now resides in Finland. In 2003 they changed their name from Dolcxamar to Dolchamar, a change between the two conventions for representing the Esperanto word dolĉamar’, pronounced [doltʃaˈmar] — poetic for dolĉamaro (literally "Sweetbitterness").

Ĉu vi pretas?

[edit]

Ĉu vi pretas? is a hip hop song by the Esperanto band Dolchamar, on the album Lingvo Intermonda. The title comes from the chorus challenging, "Ĉu vi pretas por la veno de Dolchamar?" (Are you ready for the coming of Dolchamar?). The punchline Ĉu vi pretas? is an idiomatic way of asking one whether they are ready. It originally appeared briefly in a song by La Mondanoj, an 80's Esperanto hard rock band, and has now become a common catch phrase among Esperanto users.
