░ ..;Release Notes;.. ░
░ In addition to the 2004 BBC WORLD MUSIC ░
░ AWARD, their CD PeopleÆs Spring reaped ░
░ outstanding reviews throughout Europe, ░
░ Canada and the U.S. In the course of the ░
░ twelve months since then, their schedule ░
░ has been chock-full with concert dates: ░
░ in France, Italy, Northern Ireland, ░
░ England, Portugal, the Netherlands, ░
░ Austria, Hungary, Taiwan, Pakistan, the ░
░ U.S. and Canada. ░
░ Their new CD Uprooting (JARO 4261-2) was ░
░ released in Europe in October 2004 and is ░
░ scheduled to appear in the U.S., Canada ░
░ and Japan in 2005. A DVD is also on the ░
░ agenda for 2005. They contributed ░
░ musically to the best-selling computer ░
░ game "Myst III" and are greatly in demand ░
░ as partnerse for collaboration. ░
░ ░
░ Even if Poland is now a member of the EU, ░
░ Europeans still regard it as the unknown ░
░ neighbour to the east, especially with ░
░ regard to the music scene. We've heard of ░
░ Klezmer and that's about it. ░
░ "They" are the Warsaw Village Band, ░
░ founded in 1997, the winner of the Polish ░
░ radio competition "New Traditions" in ░
░ 1998 before going on to celebrate its ░
░ first major concert performance at the ░
░ renowned Sopot Festival in 1999, where it ░
░ joined such well-known artists as Goran ░
░ Bregovic, the Bulgarian Voices Angelite ░
░ and others. With its second CD, People's ░
░ Spring (JARO 4247-2), the band made its ░
░ Western European debut. Its career took a ░
░ sharp upward turn and has maintained that ░
░ course ever since. ░
░ ░
░ The new CD Uprooting (JARO 4161-2) is the ░
░ Warsaw Village BandÆs boldest venture ░
░ yet. On the one hand, the ensemble ░
░ invited representatives of traditional ░
░ Polish folklore to join it in the ░
░ recording studio; on the other hand it ░
░ forged contacts with two dub-sound and ░
░ scratch specialists. In view of this ░
░ unusual blend of elements and epochs, the ░
░ band had every reason to borrow the old ░
░ Reggae hero Burning Spear's words of ░
░ wisdom as the motto for Uprooting: ░
░ "Remember the past, but keep it livin' in ░
░ the future." A perfect description of the ░
░ Warsaw Village Band's chief intentions. ░
░ ░
░ What is special about - and ░
░ characteristic of - the band are the ░
░ trance-like rhythms of two drums and the ░
░ so-called "white voices" - near-screams, ░
░ primeval, clear and wild, combined with ░
░ the szuka (knee-violin), cello, dulcimer, ░
░ violin and hurdy-gurdy. The WVB ░
░ experiments with its roots, creating an ░
░ entirely new, suspense-charged ░
░ relationship between the traditional and ░
░ the modern. Its great love for its ░
░ national musical heritage and the will to ░
░ preserve the old musical traditions are ░
░ the chief ingredients of its success. For ░
░ the WVB, however, preservation does not ░
░ mean restoration but - as in the case of ░
░ "The Pogues" and "Les Negresses Vertes" û ░
░ reanimation, the conveyance of the songsÆ ░
░ spirit into the present. So Polka gets a ░
░ shot of Techno. And even if it is ░
░ produced by acoustic instrumentation, the ░
░ sound of WVB comes across with the force ░
░ of E-powered music. Structures of minimal ░
░ music are as detectable here as contact ░
░ to certain rock formats. The result is a ░
░ sound young people identify with, a sound ░
░ that has mesmerized audiences all the way ░
░ from America to Japan. While the ░
░ Americans refer to it as "New Folk," the ░
░ band itself emphasizes the trance-like ░
░ quality of its music. ░
░ ░
░ "From village to metropolis, from untuned ░
░ violins to scratch, from generation to ░
░ generation, from uprooted musicians to ░
░ the latest vibes, from soul to soul." ░
░ Warsaw Village Band, August 2004 ░
░ ░
░ "Anyone who attempts to defend music ░
░ against the ravishment of showbiz ░
░ deserves our vote, and this is the stated ░
░ goal of the Warsaw Village Band. They are ░
░ six young musicians playing traditional ░
░ Polish instruments but not averse to a ░
░ spot of experimentation en route. With ░
░ this, their second release, they enlist a ░
░ raft of collaborators, including a DJ and ░
░ a choir, and the result is a fine ░
░ rendition of contemporary Polish folk ░
░ music with a modernist touch to the ░
░ arrangements and orchestrations. Great ░
░ harmony vocals backed by plucked cello, ░
░ hurdy-gurdy and dulcimer, for example - ░
░ some lovely ideas articulately executed." ░
