Thoughts on Music in Poland

there a lots of Ukrainians in Poland, so I am sure you will find that version. If not , I can sing it to you

My favourite music in Poland is Electro, A lot of it is either in English or has no lyrics at all. Polish electro is different to the Electro House that we have in England

I like Electro too.

=======================

I wonder what Chopin and Paderewski would have made of it?

I'm pleased that my musical repertoire includes the music of Jan of Lublin (16th century)on the one hand, and the music of Marian Sawa (20th/21st century) on the other.

I reckon O.S.T.R is awesome. He freestyles like no other and also raps about rugby, so he's got my vote! The only problem is that it is impossible to get a hold of any of his records in australia. I have had to send away to pl to get them sent over here......well worth it though.

OSTRY NA PREZYDENTA!!!!!!!!

Does anyone here like Liroy? i think he is a major pisda and his music is rather chujowa, but a lot of people seem to like him

piotr is my tri city home boy... original polish hip hop from the days of way...

I really enjoyed "Albóm" as a kid , just like the rest of my primary school.

I just couldn't resist the lyrics. "Hej ty, k**wa ty, k**wa, k**wa, k**wa mać; Posłuchaj ch**u jeden, co spiewa nasza brać!" Pure poetry! Surprisingly, I don't listen to him much these days. Ok, maybe with the exception of the song "Scyzoryk".

And what you think about Kult and Kazik?

i have 6 albums of Liroy but not yet listened to them, have listened to though the following tracks >>>

Dj Alien & Liroy -- Driver & Szakal
Biografia (dance version)
Hello (feat Lionel Richie)

I tend to listen to more Kasia Kowalska ... Edyta Gorniak ... Bajm ... any club/trance music from Poland

Do you guys get into O.S.T.R at all? I recently managed to get a hold of one of his albums, the most recent i think (7). This is without a doubt one of the best hiphop albums i have heard in ages. Right up there with roots manuva and atmosphere. Great beats, awesome rhymes.

If youve never seen the man in action, check this link out....it's O.S.T.R freestyling at hiphopkemp this year. seriously, check it out!!!!

Hello! I am just a guest here, so I apologize for the intrusion... The reason why I write is that I've been reading this thread with great interest and I wanted to thank you for the information on polish music. The second reason is that I read that I'm not the only person who finds it difficult to find polish music, so I was wondering if there was anyone who had the song "Ewa - Perfect". I heard it sung a few days ago and I just can't get it off my head...
My email is "serepink@gmail.com", if anyone has msn and is so kind to be willing to send it to me... I am italian, so if anyone wants I can trade it with some italian songs ... If you have any other nice polish (especially 'soft') music I would love to be able to listen to them, so anyone is very, very welcome to write me or send me anything...
Once again, sorry for the intrusion and thanks in any case in advance! I love this forum and I'll keep reading discussions and maybe register very very soon!

Polish hip hop? Like what, who and where can I hear it?

Go on to you tube and do a search on O.S.T.R or ostry and prepare to be blown away.

here's a good start:

 

(mad freestyle skills)

When polish hip hop you must hear "peja" good songs are ,"szacunek ludzi ulicy" ,"kurewskie zycie" and "reprezentuje biede" !

but the best polish music is Oi / Rac , music from Honor , konkwista , wolne miasto gdansk !!! Polish rock is great!

but there exicts good old polish pop bands like kombi or lady pank!

polish music is good for emigrants , because you can feel in your heart from where you are!

bog honor ojczyzna

music in poland

I wonder, what type of music Polish people like? do they listen to polish music at all? I find the ones near me listen to American music more. What is the most popular genre now in Poland?

i hear that polish people dont listen to much music but prefer to tap their feet... this is a popular form of entertainment in eastern europe

I was wondering mostly because polish people around me listen more to american music. I listen to polish music all the time, mostly ballads. I've found it to be a great way of learning and practicing the language especially, since you can find most of the lyrics and ballads are slow. However, the ones i got are old songs. Any new ones that anyone can recommend?

Oh, another thing.... What is Disco Polo? is it new? old?

Redneck music...

Sorry, don't want to sound głupia but I am not familiar.....

I had never heard of it either.....but from what I understand, many clubs have a night where they play old disco hits from the seventies....and it is popular with the younger kids who (of course missed it the first go around). But somehow I doubt they "dress" in seventies kitsch....could be hard these days to find silver metallic tops, clear acrylic stacked heels and sheer lip gloss.......and a Farrah Fawcett hairdo :)

Are you sure text of Hej Sokoly exists in Ukranian language? I have never met it as well as my friends of Ukranian origin. What do you know about the history of this song?

Progressive rock - Riverside (something like Dream Theater)
