Folk music is undergoing a renaissance; however it has been considerably altered. Ancient instruments and tunes now meet invigorating contemporary rhythms and haunting cutting-edge vocals this is not your grandparents folk music, but old traditions in a radical new form.
“Traditional Polish songs, with their cutting vocals and meshed fiddles are the foundation of Warsaw Village Band’s repertory. But while their lineup is primarily acoustic – hand drums, hammered dilcimer, violins, cello – their sensibilities are modern. They hear dance -club drive and trancey echoes in the songs and they use recording studio techniques to heighten the central drones and eerie percussive sounds in their songs. Hints of reggae and guests like a scratching disc jockey should further infuriate purists” NYT.
