Antwerp Gipsy-Ska Orkestra - Final concert - MOSiR Stadium

“You don't like gipsy-reggae? I will shed no tears. Go listen to Britney Spears” – this quote, taken from one of the songs by the Antwerp Gipsy - Ska Orkestra proves that they are not interested in being celebrities at any price. They’d rather destroy all barriers between people and get straight to hearts of the fans, who are not scared of terrific blend of reggae, ska, gipsy, drum’n’bass, samba and a couple of other music genres.

Dżem - Concert - Music of the World (Old City Square in Oświęcim)

Dżem (Eng. Jam) is an essential ingredient in a Polish rock music fan’s diet. Some call them Polish Rolling Stones, some say they’re rather Polish ZZ Top – but the truth is clear: you can hardly find a compatriot who couldn’t sing or at least hum one of Dżem’s greatest hits. Songs like „Whisky”, „Czerwony jak cegła”, „Wehikuł czasu” or „Naiwne pytania” can be heard at karaoke parties, camp-fires and the like throughout the country. Other significant tracks in their output include: „Harley mój”, „Lunatycy”, „Jak malowany ptak”, „List do M.”, „Sen o Victorii”, and „Autsajder”.
