The band Vołosi appeared at European world music scene after triumphant participation in the festival of Polish radio «Nowa Tradycja» in 2010. Unexpected combination of classic standards and folk motives, which impressed audience and critics so much, is not accidental. Members of the band Krzysztof and Stanislaw Lason are graduates of The Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice, enchanted with folk music which they heard in their childhood in the surrounding mountain villages. Zbigniew Michalek, Jan Kaczmarzyk and Robert Waszut – folk musicians, Highlanders from the areas where the borders of Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia meet. 

Vołosi are playing exceedingly emotionally, admiring themselves and people around with flows of Balkan, Carpathian and Transylvanian motives interwoven with classical melodies of European composers. Mastership of the highest level is combined with ease, energy – with elegance. Nowadays the amount of fans of the band is steadily increasing, and not only in Poland, but also in Georgia, Denmark, Germany and Great Britain. In Ukraine band became a real discovery of the International festival ArtPole’2012, confirming its success by sold-out performances in seven Ukrainian cities.
