Programme
One of the most characteristic and important elements of traditional music in Central Poland is undoubtedly the mazurka rhythm. It is a constant source of inspiration for two ensembles, which during their joint concert will present two seemingly different approaches to the oberek groove. The link between the two formations is their leader, violinist, improviser, composer and jazzman, Kacper Malisz. Deeply involved with traditional music since childhood through music-making in the Malisz family band, he develops a new outlook on traditional music in, among others, his jazz quintet and the Suferi ensemble. While being respectful to the old masters and the traditional core of the music he has practised since childhood, Malisz combines oberek rhythms and melodies with influences from modern jazz, electronic music, Romanian music and hip-hop.
