Every person lives in the world and in relation to the world – in relation to themselves, to the community they belong to, to the cosmos surrounding them, to what has been, and to what will be. This world and this person are constantly changing. We continuously cross boundaries – birth, love, death, spring, summer, autumn, winter, child, elder.
Every community creates its own story about this and a unique set of rituals and ceremonies, which we call Tradition. Passed down from generation to generation, it can serve as a key, a guide, a point of reference, an inspiration, or a source of emotion and wonder.
Our original compositions draw both from traditional sources, folk songs and ballads, as well as from contemporary music and the works of modern Polish poets.
