Polish Music.

@Feniks

I liked both your posts.

Just for the idiot Barney, here is a bit of Polish Funk.

I recently have been looking into modern music coming out of Poland, and honestly I am liking what I am hearing so far. I recently found Sobel and was curious if there are any recommendations you all may have?!

You mean banging two frying pans?

Well, Sobell is not exactly to my personal taste but for Rich (Novichock) to compare him to "Banging frying pans" is just ridiculous.
Here is one of his songs, please tell me if you think he sounds like "Banging frying pans".



You mean banging two frying pans?Yes.

This guy shouldn't sing, Sanah is enough for that.

Milo, you have to start thinking like a lawyer and respond only to what is actually written.

I responded to this:


...with this:


How did you manage to conclude that I was referring to Sobell is beyond me.

Actually, I enjoyed the video...moody but in a good way...

BTW, I think I confused "modern music" like this;



...with concrete music...

Not mine and unexceptional, but ok as background music. Not exactly cheerful, but then again, most Polish popular music is not.

Artur Rojek - Długość dźwięku samotności



Artur Rojek - Odrobinę więcej

An old one, but appropriate right now

I've been wondering why it hasn't been used recently.... told old for PO constituency?

Too southern, too rural. Maybe.

A 40 year old would have been 15 when it came out.

A couple of oldies:

De Mono - Kochać inaczej



Goran Bregović & Kayah - Spij kochanie, spij

Another song by them from the same album.... I remember my Polish teacher told me that it's not about Africa at all, but Poland and Polish people...

My quick translation of the lyrics:

Violence is everywhere, violence is in you
Violence is in me, violence has always been there
Violence will always be, violence violence was in you
Violence was in me, you know the law and rules
You can't do anything about it
I have to manage it for myself
Still for many days
Still for many years
Everything will have a bitter taste
Treachery is everywhere

Strange.....

Good track, I liked it.

Another couple of old ones:

Bogusław Mec - Jej portret



Czerwone Gitary - Ciągle pada

Something very, very funny I discovered recently is that the 'Polish music' page on Wikipedia doesn't contain a SINGLE mention of discopolo. Not one: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Poland

Huge swathes of the country listen to this farmer pop dreck all the time - to me, it's synonymous with 'Polish music' - but no mention of it here? How does that work?

To me, this is another great example of the highly selective nature of Poland's national PR campaign. It's "so safe and clean" but they don't mention the football hooligan graffiti decorating the walls of every city or the fact that that the mafia and corrupt police have created a very lucrative industry out of spiking foreign visitors' drinks and draining their bank accounts. As usual, the image Poland proudly (some would say snottily) presents to the world is VASTLY different from the reality.

Ok, now I will get a bit sentimental 😁
You know when there is that one song that is played constantly and everyone knows it, whether they like it or not? One of such songs was "Księżycowa piosenka":

For my teenage years and first heartbreaks LZY created a soundtrack:

"Niebieska sukienka" is one of the songs that have very personal memories for me:



"Agnieszka" on the other hand was sung at almost all drunk parties at one time:

Trolling Novi in other thread reminded me of this great song:

A couple of tracks from Mrozu I like:

Mrozu - Palę w oknie



Mrozu - "Pół na Pół"

Daria Zawiałow, Artur Rojek - Dziwna



Mrozu - Palę w oknie



Mrozu feat. Sound'n'Grace - Nic do stracenia

@Feniks

Two very good Polish Pop Music videos.Nice post!

It reminded me of the fact That knowing more than one language can be confusing at times.
The other day I watched a TV Show about France and there was a sign for Miele(Honey) et Cere..... I couldn't think what Cere was, even though I am pretty fluent in French and kept thinking of cheese...ser in Polish,it later transpired that Cere is beeswax,obvious when you think about it!

In your first video they often said bych which means to be or would, but it sounds just like the English word B1tch..... LOL!

I have some 1960's Polish bands for you tonight.TBH, these band were mainly before my time,and I know nothing about them, but I think they were pretty good and worth a post.

This bands name rings a vague bell with me and this is a pretty classy song.

A bit of old and Funky Polish Rock..... I really like this....

I rather like this too, but suspect this may be a seventies song.I keep forgetting how far Polish Music was behind Anglo-American music back then.

I think my last three posts are all seventies too.This is a little bit Jethro Tull.....

Now, this band I have heard of, more Funky Polish Rock:

My last post tonight is from a band that I know quite well.And this is good.Next time I will post on this thread it will be slightly more modern stuff.

I have three more recent Polish music videos for you, this is still old, but not from the sixties or seventies, this is from 1991.

I am going to change the mood completely with my last two posts tonight, much more modern, I am curious to hear what you think of these songs.
