about

April 2016. While leaving Krakow's historical Kazimierz quarter after my first visit there, I whistled something that I recorded in my Smolensk* street room. During one of the album recording session in July 2016, Kazimir took his violin to complete the recording I had previously done with Sebastian Kaszyca (accordeon) and Katarzyna Rosołek (violin) who transcripted and arranged this raw whistled melody, using the same way they played together traditional songs in that very same Kazimierz area. Kazimir has once hit the violin strings while doing a quick improvisation before starting the recording. I asked him to play the same thing again while pushing the recording button. He could redo it quite as well and this little phrase became the violin introduction to the song and to this album.
Magic !

Nicolas Dubreil

*Just after Andrzej Wajda died, I saw his movie "Katyń", and learnt about what happened near Smolensk during WWII.
