Village Kollektiv

The music generated by Village Kollektiv is the first fusion of electronic sonances with the “live” sound of original instruments and singing. Traditional musical roots together with the computer score constitute an integrated circuit, creating a new sound space, in which the expression of the words of the “folk” can take full shape. Musicians use traditional melodies originating from the Kurpie region and collected from the people of the Bulgarian Šopluk region. They employ traditional singing techniques: throat singing from Tuva and the yoik of the Sami people.

It was 1988, punk rock and new wave reigned the scene, a group of enthusiastic, talented young people sensitive to beauty decided to try themselves out in writing music. Anja Orthodox - vocal, Przemek Guryn - keyboards, Jacek Skirucha - guitar, Tomek Grochowalski (Wolfgang) - bass and Grzegorz Tomczyk - drums. They were eager and keen, but totally inexperienced. The first period of their career was rehearsals, rehearsals and rehearsals… Their music was raw, but at the same time melancholic and sad.

Vespa

VESPA is one of the first Polish bands playing ska music. Created in Szczecin in 1995 by secondary school students Radar (vocal), Krzaq (bass), Pasterz (drums) and Kantor (guitar). The band was soon joined by Maciek (guitar) and they called themselves VESPA and began to conquer the world. At this time the band members were fascinated by so called third wave of ska but due to poor music skills at that time, they sounded more like poor ska-punk.
