A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
ABOUT
DAGADANA's music is a fusion of jazz, electronica, Polish, and Ukrainian folk. The trio plays traditional folk melodies and their own compositions set to words of traditional songs, modern poetry, and their own lyrics. Their concerts, full of humor, show that they make the kind of music that makes both the listener and the performer happy. Full of warmth, vocal lines often sung through voice processors, bold synthetic sounds, jazzy acoustic bass, and children's toys used as instruments are DAGADANA's method to flood the listener with sounds that are never boring. This multicultural project will interest everybody who is open to the richness of the Slavic soul – wild but mild at the same time. Their debut album "Malenka" (2010) was awarded by the biggest Polish "Fryderyk" - World Music Album of the Year. Their new album "Dlaczego nie" was nominated for "Fryderyk 2011" and got #8 on The Best World Music Albums of the World list in England (www.WorldMusic.co.uk). DAGADANA has played more than 300 concerts in Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Moldova, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Sweden, United Kingdom, and Ukraine.

Always enthusiastically welcomed, DAGADANA is an Ambassador of Eastern Europe, a great example of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation. "If this is the new face of Poland, then I want to kiss it." (Glyn Phillips; WorldMusic.co.uk)
