Wędrowiec - Walczyk

Któż tam po komorze - Adam Strug

She brushed and untied her golden hair.
Let me stay! Don’t send me away, mother!
How could I not send you away, my daughter?
These are good people that came for you.
.
The story of this recording is funny and strange. I first recorded it at home in lockdown back in 2020 and posted it on social media. Then a Polish music producer and rapper contacted me asking about this song. I directed him to the original recording by women from Łukowa village, recorded by In Crudo label. 3 years later this song is featured in the animated film #chłopi #thepeasants

1) Näckens svek
“The Nix’s Deceit” – a medieval ballad after Svea Jansson (1904–1980)
from the Åland Islands.
There lived a count far away in the country
He had three daughters and how beautiful they were
– With honour!
The first one was so pretty, the second so lovely
The third one swore she would never take a husband
– With honour!
It was told over the kingdom, it was told over the land
It was told to the Nix on the banks of the blue river
– With honour!
The Nix he dresses like a gentleman
Then he rides to the home of the count
– With honour!
The Nix he rides into the yard of the count
The maiden is standing there with hair hanging down
– With honour!
Who is that gentleman in our yard
I wish that gentleman were mine
– With honour!
The Nix he walks into the chamber
Where is the pretty maiden who promised to be mine?
– With honour!
My pretty maiden, come with me to the church
He wanted to drive the coach himself
– With honor

2) Skogspolskan
Polska learned from Päkkos Gustaf (1916–2000) from Bingsjö. The name of
the polska (“The forest polska”) comes from his student Ellika Frisell.

3)"Zebym miała taką nutę"
“If I Could Sing a Tune” – a song after Waleria Czubak (1919–1989) from Błędów
(Mazowsze Łowickie). The melody can be played as a kujawiak.

If I could sing a tune with my strong voice
Oh, I would often sing to the Łowicz folk
I would often sing to them once, and more often to the Stockholm folk
Oh, I’ll manage, even though I’m on my own
In Błędów they like to sing: diddle-ding, diddle-ding
And the same in Łowicz, too: diddle-doo, diddle-doo
Oh, you’re a musician and that’s what you call yourself
Oh, but you have to play the tunes that I will sing
Play, Olaf, you’ll go to Heaven with your fiddle by your side,
And the drummer after you, as he beats the drum so well

4) Polska ”Den beste” efter Artur Lundberg
“The Best One” – a polska after master fiddler Artur Lundberg (1901–1981)
from Hogdal in the Bohuslän region. Artur Lundberg was a central figure in
the folk music of northern Bohuslän, he played at many dances and formed
the local folk band (“spelmanslag”). The polskas from Hogdal have an assymetric
beat, closely related to the traditions across the Norwegian border.

5) "Dobrzelin"
A kujon from Dobrzelin – a characteristic tune from Dobrzelin (in the Łowickie
region), from the Dobrzeliniacy band. It is frequently played by musicians
from this region and can be found in collections of old recordings. The
kujons give the dancers opportunities to make bold movements and contain
numerous rubatoes, where the band elongates the phrases.

1) "Lulaj, lujaj, siwe oczka pozatulaj"
“Hushaby, Hushaby, Close Your Grey Eyes” – a lullaby after Bronisława Chmielowska (born 1935), brought up in Gródek Jagielloński near Lviv (present-day Ukraine), and later living in Mroczkowice in Lower Silesia. 

Oh hushaby, hushaby 
Close your grey eyes 
Grey eyes, white flesh 
So it grows without pain 
Baby will sleep till the evening 
When mum returns from the field 
She will bring you two milky teats 
And for the nanny two lumps of cheese 
The baby will sleep all the while 
Jesus Christ will guard it well 
And his mother, Holy Virgin 
Will take care of her little one

2) "Lilla Hedda"
Lullaby after Hilda Lundell (1858–1893) from Kalmar län (Småland) 
Little Hedda, friend of the Lord, is lying in her swaddling clothes 
Satan cannot catch her with his cunning and his toils 
The Lord is looking with his watchful eye 

3)"Sov i ro"
Traditional Swedish lullaby 
Sleep in peace, little child, soon enough you’ll have to cry 
Soon enough you’ll see the evil world and taste its evil 
The world is an island of grief, you’d better breathe or you’ll die 
and become earth again

The name and form of the Swedish dance polska has its background in the Renaissance Poland. Now, a few hundred years later, we are rediscovering the common roots our Polish and Swedish folk melodies and dances have grown from through the centuries. How can polish dances from historical notebooks be related to the ones from living tradition, transferred to our time in the memory of village musicians – chodzony, wiwat, kujawiak, mazurek, oberek and – on the other hand – various types of polska? What are the similarities and differences in the rhythms, melodies and dance steps? Is it also possible to explore a common background when it comes to the vocal repertoire?
Such questions – alongside the wonderful experience of playing music together – guided us in the preparation of our concert which aims at presenting the deep link between the music of Poland and Sweden. We have gathered a bunch of musican and dancing friends, experts in their fields, in order to co-create this project. As a result of the meetings, mutual listening and searching for associations we have created music and dance dialogues, chains of corresponding melodies and rhythms.
We feel our meeting is as if of two related musical families that have not heard from one another for a long time. Eager to listen and to play to the other. We hope this is just the first step of this reunion and an opening for new discoveries.

Chain 3 - TAŃCE / DANSER / DANCES

Tekst w wolnym tłumaczeniu
"Ludzie mówią, że umrę, a ja chcę żyć
bo żyjąc na tym świecie, trzeba umrzeć

Tu zostaną srebro i złoto, drogie szaty
trudno mi je zabrać na tamten świat

A nawet jeśli można by je zabrać, to tam tego nie trzeba
tylko cztery deski, garstka ziemi, zbawienie z nieba

Jak uderzą we wszystkie dzwony o śmiertelnej godzinie
pokłonię się całemu światu i swojej rodzinie

Jak upuszczą grzeszne ciało w głęboki dół
jak zasypią piaskiem oczy, nigdy więcej nie spojrzę, 
nigdy już niczego nie zobaczę"

Kapela Brodów - Polski, Polonez, Chodzony.

Slavic folk, ambient psychedelia, 20th century minimalism and vocal experiments - Polish band Księżyc floats somewhere between, happily resisting simple genre categorization. The surreal and haunting beauty of their music is amplified by the fairy tale inspired lyrics Remek Hanaj has created.

For this episode, Remek has curated an hour of Eastern European 
avant-folk. It displays some of the creative diversity of the region and its relationship with blending traditional and contemporary ideas.
