from booklet info:
Here is the latest, already the fourth studio album by Warsaw Village Band, our next, long–awaited
child; and it was in fact the birth of a little human being that became the direct inspiration and cause
for the creation of this album. In such situations, certain moments come when, lying beside the child,
you observe its breathing, and you start to think about the countless, nameless
generations that preceded us. You imagine those for whom we ourselves are going to be just an
anonymous past without a face. After all, we are all born in a particular place and time, and shaped by
culture of our ancestors. We live in big cities, seek our place on earth, lose
old gods and find new ones, people, shelters, pictures, so that later we can hand them down to our
children, who are born in a particular place and time, seek their place on earth, lose old gods and find
new ones, people, shelters, pictures, so that later.. You begin feeling it clearly the moment you call
others into being. No matter whether you live in Japan, the US, England, Germany or Poland – behind
you stand the same generations, which like the rings of a tree,
have accumulated their every trace in music, art, language – in a word – CULTURE. You emerge from
it, enrich it and then pass it on. Ad infinitum. And here is how the idea of "Infinity" came into being –
the need to take a dip in tradition, derive from it and create contemporary and modern compositions –
to inspire other generations. Once again! Wojtek Krzak
from Jaro's promotionals
First time an album of „WVB" features not only traditional music, but compositions by Maja and Wojtek. For the ones having not seen the ensemble the voice of Maja is a hugh surprise. Following a one-year maternity leave „Infinity" shows us a matured Warsaw Village Band with incrediable compostions and several Polish guests.
Greetings Warsaw Village Band, I'm spinning a couple of tracks from your new cd, Infinity, on-air and on-line, as I write. ... Skip funk and Is anybody in there... cool tunes.
Wishing you all the best, - Mark Host of he World Beat
