Szela "Niezaślubiona siostra umiera"


This is a video from early 90's, so mayby the quality isn't so good, but I think that it's one of the most important folk-rock bands from Poland.
Folk-rock band Szela was established in 1993. After a long break, they are reactivated in 2004.

Karolina Cicha "Miękkie maszyny"


Polish singer/songwriter. Media wrote about their songs:

“… Her voice is used (and recorded) superbly. You can hear every word, every little turn, every breath. (…) The fragment in “Come gentle night”, where she sighs "In the middle of the day I search for the moon", gives you goose-bumps. (...) Cicha has a very distinctive timbre, and she’s very charismatic, magnetic. (…) Cracovian-Parisian, sharp, with an artistic bent, acoustic, melancholic, but very precise. Cicha is a very communicative artist, with no adjectives to describe her – ‘avant-garde’ or ‘alternative’”
(Gazeta Wyborcza, J. Świąder)
