*Infinity* ist das erste Album der Warsaw Village Band, das gänzlich auf traditionelle Musik verzichtet und nur Kompositionen von Wojtek Krzak und Maja Kleszcz enthält. Für diejenigen, die noch nicht in den Genuss gekommen sind, die Warsaw Village Band live zu erleben, dürfte auch Majas Stimme eine große Überraschung sein. Nach einem Jahr Babypause zeigt *Infinity*eine reife Warsaw Village Band mit neuen Kompositionen und interessanten polnischen Gästen, sicher das bisher beste und herausragendste Album der Band, dessen akustische Wurzeln zum größten Teil dem Blues entspringen. 15,56 EUR

Folk Rock aus Polen – eine seltene Kombination. Doch wenn man sich das zweite Album dieser achtköpfigen Formation anhört, dann fragt man sich, warum man nicht schon früher etwas von Rzepczyno (Name des Gründungsortes der Band) mitbekommen hat. Man stelle sich bitte eine gekonnte Mischung aus Fiddler\'s Green und Die Schnitter mit eigenen polnischen Folk-Einflüssen vor.....(FolkMetal.de)
RZEPCZYNO is one of the most interesting Polish bands, they combine a specific sound of folk music with the energy of rock. The band has a superb way of reinterpreting traditional folk themes and adjusting them to the form of progressive rock. The lyrics which are derived from the original folk tradition provide a springboard for a spontaneous artistic expression. The combination of traditional rock instruments of guitars, bass and drums, with violin and accordion, strengthens and enriches the band and gives them a distinctive recognizable signature sound. RZEPCZYNO created this distinctive style during the bands first years and is now sometimes humorously referred to as ‘agro-punk’.... (MySpace.com) 16,82 EUR

*Over the Village* is an exploration into the world of the travelling klezmer musicians of the Carpathian mountains. Jewish artists who played on weddings, religious holidays and other festivities. It had been -- and still is -- a multic-cultural world: there were not only Jewish villages but also Bukovina highlanders, Hutsuls, Gypsies, Polish, Romanians, Hungarians, and many more. The Polish quartet Transkapela is digging into the music that had been played in the 19th and 20th century and is playing in the style of those bands that are lost and long forgotten: Ewa Wasilewska (violin, mazanki, i.e. a little fiddle), Maciej Filipczuk (violin, fiddle with trumpet, guitar, zongura, i.e. a Transsylvanian guitar), Robert Wasilewski (hammered dulcimer, viola, shepherd’s pipes, jew’s harp, guitar, zongura), Piotr Pniewski (cello, double bass, drum). The latter also plays the gardon, i.e. a stringed percussion instrument. Its shape resembles a cello. Three strings tuned to the same tone are hammered with a stick, while a fourth is plucked so that it recoils on the finger board. The travelling Jewish musicians have disappeared from the Carpathian scenery, however, Transkapela is able to beautifully revive the sights, sounds and ways of yore. 19,66 EUR

Eine weitere Ikone der polnischer Folk/Weltmusik-Szene!
*....von Joanna Slowinska gibt es eigentlich nur diese eine CD, weil sie danach einen profitablen Vertrag mit einem Major unterzeichnete und was daraus geworden ist, ist eher peinlich.* (PIGASUS, Mariusz Bednarski)
*The rousing, spellbinding singer-violinist Joanna Slowinska is famous for her powerful “open voice” singing, skillful musicianship, and brilliant interpretations of folk music in both traditional and modern arrangements, including Jewish, Gypsy, and the folk-based settings by Zygmunt Konieczny of works by Polish poets. Joanna Slowinska is the winner of several prestigious awards. Her solo record Live in Alchemia received the Folk Record of 2005, a Polish Radio award by a vote of musical critics and journalists.*
