Artist: WARSAW VILLAGE BAND
Song:"Cranes"
Country: POLAND
Presenting six young people who have created their own version of Polish Folk Punk! The Warsaw Village Band has found a welcome in the homes of elderly village musicians who see their traditions disappearing before the onslaught of urban life. They have taken these youngsters under their wings and have taught them the ancient repertoire. The band describes “Cranes” as “an anarchistic protest song; a classic example of defiance and disobedience; and a lesson for contemporary societies: “Go back home children and be nobody’s servants.” The Warsaw Village Band was a surprise winner at the BBC Third Annual World Music Awards.
