Can't answer you there, but I just read on <sharp intake of breath> another website that amongst the traditional instrumentation of Polish folk music are such instruments as dulcimers and hurdy-gurdies. It's not every day you see examples of these. Or is it?

URL
Click on the artist profiles and I think there are a few MP3 files to listen to.
edit: Yes there are, but I think they want you to buy the CDs. I like the song on the page I've linked to above. Others may be in other styles, but I am yet to investigate further.

Perhaps a few searches on youtube might yield something.

try
Warsaw Village Band
saw them on the Beeb a bit back, young Poles (obviously) trying to keep up the dying azovian olk music,with a bit of gorale thrown in.
( Dulcimer,probably imported by jewish musicians/gypsy musicians from the balkans)

You can't beat a bit of dulcimer. The hurdy-gurdy is more than just a funny name.
And yes, the Warsaw Village Band have one and I'm strangely jealous.
Click on that URL in my last post and you can find them.

I do, or at least a few times a month.

Merged: Polish folk song

my father used to sing a polish folk song - something about doing nothing, nothing all day long, and I can't remember the words.
It sounded something like... (PLEASE excuse the spelling!!!)
Al bo shmito yatzi tatzi, yatzi tatzi....
czerbona czapechka ....
Can anyone help - I know I haven't given you much to go on!!!

This is a folk song written in a style of Krakowiak -Polish folk dance , called - "Abośmy to jacy tacy" , about a Cracovian men wearing dandified folk costume with navy blue knee long jackets and red caps adorned with peackock feathers and full of colorful ribbons .

http://www.bibliotekapiosenki.pl/static:wyspiewaj_krakow nb 3 in the list click -" pobierz utwór"

The text does not mention anything about doing nothing .

Thank you SO, SO much!!! This is the song - sang slightly differently than my father sang to me, but definitely the one!!!
I'm not sure how you managed to find it, with my bizarre wording and spelling, but VERY grateful!!
