WARSAW VILLAGE BAND

Magdal Sobzak vocals/dulcimer, Sylwia Swiatkowska (alt)violin/zuka/voc, Ewa Walecka voc/violin, Pawel Mazurczak bass, Maciej Szajkowski percussion, Piotr Glinski percussie, Milosz Gawrylkiewicz trumpet

‘The Polish Pogues’ is the nickname given to the band. Like their London counterpart the ladies and gents of Warsaw Village Band play folk music as if it was raucous rock. The instruments might be acoustic – percussion, violin, cello – but the group sounds anything but calm. The seven-piece band transforms traditional Eastern-European styles into exciting music that entrances both young fans and purists. ‘As relentless and invigorating as techno’ (New York Times).
