What happens if you take a bluesman strongly rooted in the Mississippi delta and place him in a modern musical environment and mess up his original tunes with loops, samples and other sonic adventures? You'll get "One man riot"! A CD for fans of deep blues, Tom Waits, Chris Whitley and Nine Inch Nails! Originally released in the US back in 2007 to worldwide praise from magazines and listeners. Now re-releases by Transubstans Records with 2 brand new bonus tracks!

In this double CD album Magda Piskorczyk invites the listeners to a musical journey through her closest sounds, cultures and traditions. She presents multicolour, dynamic and very personal collage, blending the music with the Afro-American roots (blues, soul, funk, jazz) and the ethnic rhythms or melodies, especially from the Western Africa.

Magda sings (mainly in English, but also in Tamashek, Bambara, Polish) and plays guitars: acoustic and bass. She regularly involves the audience in creating music together, especially the rhythm. Magda is accompanied by her band: Aleksandra Siemieniuk - dobro and electric guitar, Marcin Jahr - drums, Adam Rozenman - percussion plus a special guest from the USA:

Billy Gibson is a harp virtuoso and vocalist from Memphis where he got the title: "The Prince of Beale Street". He is 2009 Blues Music Award Winner - Instrumentalist Of The Year: Harmonica.

In 2010 Magda and her guest gave 22 concerts in one month - in Poland, Germany and Czech Republic. The first CD of "Afro Groove" album presents almost 67 minutes of the concert recorded during this tour.
In the second CD there are 3 bonus songs.

Magda Piskorczyk - Crossroads

Magda Piskorczyk has prepared CD "Mahalia" in Honor of Mahalia Jackson to celebrate the 100th Birthday Anniversary of the Queen of Gospel (October 26, 2011). 
"Come on Children, Let's Sing", "Lord, Search My Heart", "I'm Goin' to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song", "Keep Your Hand on the Plow" or "Go Tell It on the Mountain" are only a few examples from a very long list of the songs, which became worldwide known and close to millions people due to Mahalia.
