Nurturing a rich musical heritage, Poland has been a haven for artistic expression and innovation. From the classical compositions of Frederic Chopin to the contemporary sounds of modern pop and rock, the Polish music scene resonates with diversity and creativity.
With its vibrant festivals, such as the Open’er Festival and the Silesian Drum Festival, Poland embraces a wide range of genres, captivating audiences with its unique blend of tradition and modernity.
A phenomenal drummer and highly original composer Wojtek Deregowski’s reputation already precedes him.
He has recorded the platinum status single album of Sorry Boys Milosc, Bartek Królik’s Pan od Muzyki, Rosalie, Ideal, Marcelina’s Candy Blue, Karas/Rogucki – Ostatni Bastion Romantyzml, and this Tina Karol Anniversary Tour Live Album – which all blew us away.
Hopefully, he has also upcoming releases this year. Soon, Wojtek will be plugging at it even more with a new band-leading tour. Just watch his performances, and make the point yourself reaffirming why he is considered such a unique Polish music creator.
His shows at Silesian Drum Festival, the Open’er Festival, the Krakow Live Festival, and the Audioriver Festival showed how he manage his songs to move in a quick and snappy way, gripping you as any good musical correspondence should, and dropping things just as soon as the time is right.
Other works of his solo acts, with his band Mawn’s Gallery and with Oliver Wakeman, Billy Sheehan, and Colin Edwin introduce an act with equal parts delicacy and weight about their groove and creative expression, with subtle riffs and dreamy quietness.
It’s good to keep Deregowski in mind as the jarringly good modern drummer of our time that you should constantly keep in mind.
As a prominent Ukrainian pop singer, Tina Karol’s reputation preceded her, particularly after representing Ukraine in Eurovision 2006 and receiving two prestigious national musical awards.
The tour encompassed several notable venues across Spain, Israel, Cyprus, and Georgia, each offering a distinct atmosphere that complemented Karol’s performance style. From the intimate settings of VB Spaces and Sala Apolo to the larger auditoriums in Israel, her performances were met with enthusiastic responses from devoted fans.
Karol’s versatile vocals allowed her to effortlessly navigate between soulful ballads and lively tracks, showcasing her artistry effectively. Her song “Ukraine is You” held a cultural significance, being included in Ukrainian literature textbooks.
With Wojtek Deregowski in charge of the drums, give her band a lot of listening.
