People's Spring is the latest offering from Warsaw Village Band, featuring a "hardcore folk" evolution of traditional Polish music, made possible by blending punk-like or "bio-techno" influences with electronic remixing into the themes of Polish folk music that have endured centuries of pressures from war, politics, and especially twentieth-century strife. Warsaw Village Band's exciting new influence has earned them a recent nomination in the newcomer category of the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards. Lyrics reflect social and political concerns, including a woman's own contrary stance regarding her presumed marriage, and exhortations to youth to "be nobody's servant." A driving, emotional, and up-front listening experience. Tracks include To You Kasiunia (5:12), Chassidic Dance (4:12), At My Mother's (4:16), I Had A Lover (4:00), A Red Apple (6:10), Traditional Rural Polka (2:37), Who Is Getting Married (2:53), Clear Water (2:44), What Have You Been Doing Kasia (1:41), Polka Folk Is Dead (1:46), The Rain Is Falling (8:56), Cranes (3:50), Maydow (4:42), Matecka (5:23), and Joint Venture In The Village (6:11).
