Żywizna – Genowefa Lenarcik and Raphael Rogiński – KRAAK Festival 2019

ŻYWIZNA is a project dealing with the re-interpretation of Kurpian folk songs by the vocalist Genowefa Lenarcik and the guitarist Raphael Rogiński. In the experimental collage-style, Żywizna (in Kurpian “nature”) is nourishing a rich cultural and natural heritage of the Polish region. The virtuosity of the two performers profoundly transfers loud, open singing, specific for Kurpie, together with the sentiment of longing and a deep connection with raw, wild natural beauty. Genowefa Lenarcik is a recognized performer of Kurpian folk music and a daughter of the folk singing legend Stanislaw Brzozowy. Raphael Rogiński is known for exploring different styles and music traditions, as well as for playing with bands such as Shofar, Cukunft, and Alte Zachen. They have been performing together for several years now.
