Ancient polonaises, refined mazurkas, wild obers. The dominant elements are three-beat rhythms - highly regarded in the Middle Ages - and the rubato characteristic of Polish music. Our emotion-filled improvisation reaches to the hearts of dancers and listeners, as we have seen at hundreds of concerts and parties. We play on original instruments or reconstructions, using technique we learn from village masters. Our repertoire also includes kolomiykas and arkans from the Hutzuls of the Carpathian mountains, Ukrainian cossack songs and Jewish freylekses music of the nations of the First Republic. This music seemed to rest, sleepy, within us, and there are moments in life when it awakens, and the one who in youth ran to operas and concerts, sheds a tear for a boisterous mazurka. "Przyjaciel Ludu", Leszno, 1837
