Traditional Polish Music - Where can I find some?

I was born in Canada, but my parents both came from Poland. I’m getting married this summer and want to have some traditional Polish music added to the playlist. We hired a “canadian” dj and he just wants us to provide him with a CD of Polish content. This is where my problem is…

I have no clue where to find traditional polish music (waltzes, polkas and such) and I have looked at various sites only to get either pop music or way old classical stuff.

Please help... I need stuff to keep the old-school people happy!

Thx a bunch!

I thought as much, but i posted a simular thread on a different site and people were seriously suggesting stuff like that...

Thanks so much for those suggestions and the well wishes - I'll download those and have a listen later tonight.

Take care!

I was listening to a song and then this one clicked on as the next in line.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsXA3FPVIYA&feature=PlayList&p=A7A92666 2BFBF3C5&index=66&playnext=2&playnext_from=PL, it has some of the qualities of the British music of the 60's, a bit like The Byrds.

Sometimes Polish songs sound a bit worse for the lyrics but this has a chirpy melody and has decent lyrics.

Traditional polish music is performed by a band. But, when you hire these guys, all you'll get is traditional polish music all night. Traditional depends on the area. Gorale have different music than country folk than do city folk.

You can find the CDs online. What sort of music are you looking for?

P.S. I can't recall waltzing, or doing the polka, at a polish wedding. It ends up being the hustle (disco) with variations on it all night, or traditional folk dances with the crowd circling a couple in the center.

Quality Polish rock/blues music starts with Tadeusz Nalepa.

Aha, it's working now. The computer at work doesn't have a Flash player. Great stuff, I like this kind of music in this kind of weather especially. Laid back.

( Old time version) The Money or Apron dance

Pay the bride to dance
Words in Polish. If you want them in English Pm me

Daj trochu pieniedziy na tace
Na jej welon slubny

Niech cala rodzina pomorze
Niech starosta pomoze

Pani Mloda bedzie bardziej szczesliwa
Gdy pan mlody zatanczy z nia

Nasza pani mloda jest pienkna
Ale czy ona wie jak pracowac

Ojciec tanczy z panna mloda
On jest taki dawny ze swojego mala dziewczynka

Teraz jest koleg na mame
Niedlugo beedzie miala swego wlasna rodzine

Bes tym jak ostatni gosc
Zatanczy z panna mloda

Pan mlody zaczyna tanczye
Kiedy ostatnie zaworki piosenki sa grane

Pani mloda tanczy z panem mlodym
Jaka wyspaniala pare oni tworza

Wez panne mloda z soba
I kochaj ja as do smierci

I'm listening to the same song as I posted above, post 7. As I said, it has a Byrds-like quality to it. Good to see Poland has some good music of that ilk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diLYb80ISWI&feature=related, try this one by the Red Guitars. I think this is on a tv commercial now.
