DagaDana, known for their non-standard blends of folk and electronic music, decided to take their inspiration from the works of Janusz Różewicz, a Polish poet who has been unfairly forgotten. Janusz Różewicz, born in Osjaków, Poland in 1918, is the brother of Tadeusz Różewicz, who is considered to be the one of the most famous poets from Poland and Stanisław Różewicz, a highly repsected poet as well. Janusz Różewiczwas was executed in 1944. We have to tell the story of this amazing, talented person says the musicians from Dagadana. The new album includes eleven songs of music and carefully chosen texts written by Janusz Różewicz. Dagadana chose to underline the beauty of the young poets works which never had an opportunity to be discovered and appreciated by a broad audience. The musicians hope that this unique blend will help many people become familiar with Różewiczs poems. The band has received great support from the Różewicz family. The members of DagaDana are Daga Gregorowicz, Dana Vynnytska, and Mikolai Pospieszalski. Participating in the project as well as becoming a new addition to the band is drummer/percussionist Frank Parker (Chicago, USA). He has performed with notable artists which include Kurt Elling, Chicago Jazz Ensemble, Patricia Barber, Benny Carter, Randy Brecker, and Dee Alexander. Marcin Pospieszalski served as the musical producer who has cooperated with such performers as Armia, Raz Dwa Trzy, Martyna Jakubowicz, Zakopower, Tie Break, Young Power, Soyka Yanina & Kompania, Wendy Waldman, Michal Urbaniak, and Anna Maria Jopek). DagaDana chose an interesting way to issue the album to the public. Each cd includes selections of Różewiczs poems written in Polish, Ukrainian, and English languages and music compositions written and recorded by DagaDana. Also included are comments from prominent musicians, journalists and people from the world of culture, as well as a written letter from Dagadana. The works are illustrated by specially prepared collages, family archives, and photos. List do Ciebie was released by Dagadana, The National Centre of Culture, and Etnoteka.pl. The partners of the DagaDanas tours are the National Audiovisual Institute (NInA), the Polish Post, and the Association of Artists and Performers STOART. The album was created within the National Program for Promotion of Reading 2014-2020 and is supported, distributed, and promoted by Karrot Komando Concert and Publishing Agency.
