Grazyna Auguscik, Urszula Dudziak - TO I HOLA (2024) [Hi-Res]

It has been exactly 25 years since we were able to hear the recordings from the album "To i hola" for the first time. Our two export vocalists decided to record "jazz in folk style" or "folk melodies in jazz style". Our stars invited a distinguished group of Scandinavian and Polish musicians to collaborate. And so an extraordinary album was created. The repertoire, probably well-known to everyone, starting with "Prząśniczki", the title song "To i hola" or "Kukułeczka kuka", performed with extraordinary class, arranged by Ula and Grażyna with the help of, among others, Bogdan Hołownia and Andrzej Jagodziński. The album sounds fresh and intriguing, often downright surprising. Because when taking our folk, Slavic melodies to work with, could you expect that they contain so much swing that they can be performed like real bossa novas or played in a reggae rhythm?
