Polish Roots Revival Special Featuring Kapela Maliszów Live at WOMEX

Hear this show now:  Pop-up player! | Add or read comments




There's a booming folk and roots music revival in Poland. And the fiddle-driven family trio Kapela Maliszów is one of the most compelling bands on the scene.

They have a superb new album, Wiejski Dżaz - Village Jazz - on Poland's adventurous Unzipped Fly label. And they join us this week for an exclusive live session, recorded in Poland last month at the WOMEX world music expo.

Join us for a very special session with this exceptional group, plus lots more great new roots music from Poland!



More about Kapela Maliszów c/o their management company, Siaba Music (which works with several excellent new-roots artists from Poland):

The Malisz family hail from Męcina Mała, a small village in Beskid Niski region of the Western Carpathians. The family orchestra, Kapela Maliszów, comprises the multi-instrumentalist Jan Malisz with daughter Zuzanna on vocals and percussion and son Kacper on violin and basolia. The rich variety of traditional folk songs and dance music from Gorlice county are the basis of their repertoire as well as the inspiration for their original compositions, characterised by fiery, trance-like mazurkas driven by the precociously proficient violin playing of Kacper Malisz and the organic improvisatory interplay of a family brought up on music. Jan Malisz was himself taught the basics of a variety of instruments by his father Jozef and today, as well as playing them, he builds violins, hurdy-gurdys, nyckelharpas and pipes in his workshop.
