Informácie o koncertu
The band Żywiołak will visit Łódź's Wooltura.
Żywiołak is an artistic adventure of enthusiasts and explorers of the mysteries of Polish spiritual culture that has been going on for almost fifteen years. It was started by musician Robert Jaworski – then known for his work with folk staple Warsaw Village Band, among others – who, alongside Open Folk guitarist Robert Wasilewski, weaved threads of Polish folk demonology, Slavic folk music and the madness of experimental musicking. These foundations have led to a deeply idiosyncratic and recognisable sound. Their stage setup has included a hurdy-gurdy, rebec, guile, lute guitar, acoustic bass guitar, flutes (classical, modified quena, baritone flute), five-stringed and baritone violins, traditional drums and percussion instruments, as well as vocal techniques including white voice and throat singing. They are probably the first folk band to live to be listed in an encyclopaedia of rock music.
Żywiołak's latest album, entitled * Dekonstrukcja historyczna I*, is an attempt to draw forgotten meanings from familiar holidays and show these meanings in the musical context of indigenous religion. It is also an attempt by artists to confront the highly complex subject of the legacy of Slavic mythology in Poland. Dekonstrukcja historyczna is an important voice on the issue of cultural social consciousness and a very strong discourse on the condition of Polish identity, carried out invariably since the band's first album.
