Traditionalists who embrace the present, this six-person ensemble digs deep into Polish folk music for their repertoire of tunes about love, the struggle for personal freedom and the slippage of time.  A couple of polkas pop up, as does a trance-inducing Indo-European mix that would have been big among late-‘60s trippers.  There’s even an electronic remix of an ancient tune, I Had a Lover, that would play well in a dance club.  Prominent frame and baraban drums give the selections their sense of urgency and rootedness, while fiddle, Jew’s harp and other instruments along with wailing vocals complete the picture.
