FOLK STAGE
A5, 17.30 – This year, all the folk stage artists have a common music denominator – they all come from Poland. They are proof of an extraordinary weave of personal fates, histories of neighbouring nations and cultures and beliefs of settled ex-pats. The message carried by their music still lives in our hearts and is truly meaningful – we are one despite being so different.
WEDNESDAY 06.07
Przodki 17.30
Indigenous people of west-central Poland, a fount of traditional music from around the city of Poznań. They bring back traditional Obereks, Polkas and Wiwats with violins, drum, accordion, double bass and clarinet accompanied by beautiful singing. Be careful – it’s proven that after a moment of listening to their music everyone changes into a countryside dancer!
THURSDAY 07.07
Motyla Noga 17.30
A new project of musicians from Wrocław, related with a broadly defined folk music (Chudoba, 40 synów i 30 wnuków jeżdżących na 70 oślętach, N.O.E.) They will bring back the forgotten culture of Galicia. We will hear the echoes of Jewish towns and Gypsy tabors from Poland, Ukraine and Germany.
FRIDAY 08.07
Chajim 17.30
An energetic band from south-eastern Silesia which expresses its highland temperament through the beauty of Jewish music. Dorota Herok – the leader of Klezmer Jewish dances ensemble, that cooperates with Chajim, will be leading the Jewish dance workshops and will also lead all of the participants of the concert into a spontaneous dance.
SATURDAY 09.07
Królestwo Beskidu 17.30
The name of the band – „Kingdom of the Beskid” – metaphorically brings out the richness of the Żywiecczyzna, Ślask Cieszyński regions and in wider sense of all Carpathian Mountains. The band performs its own original songs combined with the influence of Carpathian, Slovak, Hungarian, Ukrainian and Jewish music. All the band members come from and were raised in the Beskid Mountains.
