30 Apr 08 - 06:20 AM (#2329562) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: Paul Burke A friend brought me back a CD of source recordings from all areas of Poland, made in the period 1960-1990. Much of it is fascinating, even if often hard listening at times. Some of the titles are intriguing: "On the other side of the lake a fish is drowning", and some of the isntruments equally so- the horsehair gutbucket, the wooden trumpet, the lilac leaf. It's at home; if I remember, and if Mudcat is still up tomorrow, I'll try to post details. |

30 Apr 08 - 06:47 AM (#2329573) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: sian, west wales There was a documentary on the young group, "The Warsaw Village Band" on telly a few months back. Not 'archive' but I was impressed by their commitment to working with tradition bearers in Poland to find their material. I'd heard them a few years ago and they had a fair bit of airtime on British radio at one point too. sian |

01 May 08 - 01:26 AM (#2330321) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: Joe Offer I grew up near Milwaukee, and was used to the polkas and other Polish-American standards (and, of course, Bobby Vinton, the Polish Prince). I spent a few days in Zakopane in the Tatra Mountains of Poland a couple of years ago, and was really impressed by the music. It sounded somewhat like the "Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices" recordings. -Joe- |

01 May 08 - 04:52 PM (#2330934) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: McGrath of Harlow This site - Polish music - is worth checking. (Quite a lot of dead links, but plenty of potentially useful ones - including this Polish Folk Resources) |

01 May 08 - 08:17 PM (#2331080) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: GUEST,Dave MacKenzie I have something like the first Cd, but it's called "Songs and Music from Various Regions". The track it has is "On this side of the lake a fish is drinking water"! My Polish isn't up to deciphering whether the dates are recoring or birth, though I shouldn't imagine they were making field recordings in 1866. Some of the polkas sound very like bluegrass fiddle standards. It's on Polskie Nagrania PNCD 048. Also, does as anyone know how I can get a replacement copy of Poderti Capeliykhi's cassette. Not great but it brings back memories. I've a feeling it was only available at gigs. |

07 May 08 - 05:31 PM (#2335202) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: trevek Look up Jacek Halas on youtube. Also Kwartet Jorgi. Trebunie Tutki do mountain fiddle music but some of the youtube stuff is their work with a reggae band. Orkiestra Sw Mikolaja ar also pretty hot |

07 May 08 - 05:33 PM (#2335206) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: trevek There is a whole selection of archive recordings from Polish radio but it is pretty hardcore (as in 90 year old grannies singing about their goats) |

08 May 08 - 05:15 PM (#2336052) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: Roughyed Try putting Brathanki into Youtube for a modern take on the goralle (mountain) music. The music from the Tatra region has more links to Slovakian music than other areas of Poland but the fiddle players are fantastic. |

09 May 08 - 03:43 AM (#2336322) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: trevek Oh yes, it's the real thing, and all the better for it. I just wanted to highlight that it's not quite Warsaw Village band or Brathanki (although I'm also partial to them). Look up the word muzykanci on youtube and you'll (ventually) find some old archive film of village bands. |

10 May 08 - 05:38 AM (#2337034) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: GUEST,roly brown One of you Mudcats mentioned music put out by Polish radio. I seem to remember two distinct sets...One of them was issued by Polonia Records (a score and more of volumes). I got one cd from Polart in the US of A. Not sure if that source still offers. |

12 May 08 - 04:22 AM (#2338141) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: trevek The drum is like a giant tambourine. It is often played with the single end of a stick and the heel of the hand. I'm a bodhran player and I find it pretty hard to adjust the wrist action. The set of CDs I'm on about is Polskie Radio. There's an e-mail e-ddress on the back: chopin@radio.com.pl |

10 Nov 08 - 06:40 AM (#2489668) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: GUEST,Volgadon I just found that by going to youtube and typing in gorali, goral, muzyka goralska, baciary, you can find several videos of Polish Highlander music. |

11 Nov 08 - 06:13 AM (#2490601) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: GUEST,letusdanceonthegraveoftrotsky All the Polish people I know listen to modern music - either rock, RNB, Techno, etc. Traditional music is unknown amongst them. |

11 Nov 08 - 09:30 AM (#2490741) Subject: RE: Good Polish Music? From: trevek For many it is something thy learn in school with dancing classes and 'trad' clothes. It's usually a kind of 'fakelore'. It's a specific circle of younger people who listen to the more genuine stuff. Generally students of ethnology, theatre etc. There are, however, some pretty hard-core groups of young people researching and recreating/playing older traditional forms. |
