The Krosno Land Ethnocenter invites you to the musical conclusion of the first stage of the "Inhabitants of Krosno to Krosno inhabitants - a workshop of traditions" project on September 16 - 17, 2022.

The weekend will begin with a dance on Friday evening, two great folk bands will play to dance - Hop Kapela Szabasówka and Kapela Koronka from Bobowa!

Hop Kapela Szabasówka was established in 2019 as a result of the project "Szabasówka Bobowska School of Tradition." The band is made up of graduates of the Bobowa Music School, along with music teachers and folk musicians. The band plays music mainly from its region - the foothills, with a particular emphasis on old, partly forgotten melodies. The repertoire includes polkas, waltzes, western dance (walked). The band also reaches for Jewish, Hungarian, Lemko repertoire, and takes on so-called "wandering", "common melodies" that were performed in the areas of former Galicia.

Band Koronka from Bobowa operates at the Cultural Center in Bobowa, the band consists of children and young people and an instructor. On a daily basis, it accompanies the Children's Regional Song and Dance Ensemble Mała Koronka. Like the Hop, the Szabasówka Band was formed as a result of the "Szabasówka Bobowska School of Tradition" project.
Its repertoire consists mainly of traditional dances from the region, i.e. music from the foothills, as well as original regional dances such as haciok, drąg, drobny, polka mazurka, found only in the Gorlice region.
