about

The band was formed in 2022. The passion for rituals and ethnic music brought the musicians together. They emphasize a shared musical language, aiming for their music to convey their emotions. The entire quintet sings like traditional folk groups, while the leader combines vocal performance with dance on stage.

The "Biłgoraj Triptych" tells a story of longing, a torn heart, and redemption. It's like a musical ritual in which opening up to difficult emotions, naming them, and allowing oneself to experience them leads to emotional liberation.

Biłgoraj Triptych tells a poignant story about a torn heart, longing, and redemption. It transposes traditional South-Eastern music from Poland to modern standards through Magda, born in Biłgoraj. As ritualistic and organic music, Triptych uncovers our deeply buried need for catharsis.
This album attempts to bring the Polish tradition out of the shadows and prove that folk music has its rightful place in the contemporary world, as it is as relatable as it is beautiful. Or maybe that's why it is beautiful?

The original lyrics served as a starting point for the band to create their own compositions. These are not jazz arrangements of folk songs, but an attempt to recreate a village band while incorporating the musical influences of each band member and their personal experiences, which they blend with sounds in a musical ritual elixir.

Kwasy i zasady
by Błoto

supported by 5 fans who also own “Tryptyk Biłgorajski”

The first track is a bit of an outlier, perhaps connecting back to earlier albums where jazz foundations lead the way, before going all out berserk with the beats, beats, and beats. Bass and electronics are now the mainstays over the hip-hop influenced rhythms. But the horns are still layered back in with style. I initially passed this over, but the Szlam / Ścieki tracks blew my socks off and in desperation for more, I was led back to this. I can't wait to see where Błoto go next. rvss.eel
