Chudoba collects and rearranges folksongs from the Polish mountains, from the Czech Republic, from Bulgaria, Serbia, the Ukraine and especially from the lemkish region in the southeastern part of Poland. The band sticks to a broad variety of acoustic intruments like accordion, flute, mandolin, double bass, dulcimer, jews harp and guitar. They still play their music with a lot of joy and passion.
Two records have been released in Poland so far: Gray Muzyka (Play this music) and Nasza Polka (Our Polka). Chudoba's first release for the international market features their favourite polkas and lullabies, wedding- and lovesongs.
Krzysztof Opalski left the band in 2000 and formed another another one, which is called BURAKY.

I loved the first cut "Marina". I was a little disappointed they went down Gypsy road after that. Not that I dislike Gypsy tunes but I bought this thinking it was Traditional Polish. Despite that, tunes are all great!

I love the full, rich neo-traditional folk sound of this CD. It's very listenable and often downright beautiful; the recording is excellent, and the performances sparkle. Chudoba (meaning "meager possessions" in Polish) was founded in the early 90s by students at the University of Wrocław. They specialize in folk tunes from Galicia and neighboring areas, reinterpreting them with an array of acoustic instruments that include Jew's harp, mandolin, guitar, violin, dulcimer and flute. Good liner notes in English. Buy this CD! I give it an "A."
