Cudowne Lata PL
The Polish band Cudowne Lata consists of singer Ania Włodarczyk and guitarist from Beirut Amina Dargham. In autumn 2008 they released a demo EP with four dreamy, romantic songs that soon captured the hearts of audiences all over Poland. In April 2019, their first single “Zapach i ty” was released, and the music website Porcys praised it as “the Polish single of the year”. In the summer of 2019, they performed at Off Festival in Katowice and shortly after that they released their debut album “Kółko i krzyżyk”. It features nine melodic tracks, catchy guitar solos, synthpop and surprising oriental motifs, and a mysterious sounding omnichord. The album is a nostalgic tale of the 80s and 90s in Poland – at times extending a lighthearted invitation to dance, at times unsettling or quickly transitioning into heartwarming ballads.
