All who have ever been moved by the sound of a faraway tune all whose mature hearts have been pricked by the white dove of love all who love the traditions that bring joy to all people whether devouring a book or tilling the soil I beg all of you, with all respect: do not let this precious, living jewel of our nation die and I ask you to meditate on the patriotic depth of this sacred mission, which we a handful of Polish artists present here.
a paraphrase from "Cante jondo" of F.G. Lorca

We
are lovers of Polish traditional music, who have been playing together
since 1992. Our repertoire includes both sacred and secular songs from
the lands of the First Republic of Poland (including much of
present-day western Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus). Our concerts are a
guide through the calendar of Polish holidays and religious rites. To keep the purity of the ancient songs and polyphonies we maintain the original styles of performance and in the case of religious music the appropriate setting for its content. However, we also remember that music thrives on the individuality of its performers; we are not quoting, but telling the same story as was told ages ago.
