recently i had a memory of an event some time ago. a friend of mine sent me beautiful movie from camera attached to eagle's back. you can see how it travels the sky, dives… it is truly amazing view, associated with increadibly nice music. i was told this: “sometimes, when i see such a things i wonder what am i still doing here in the office in front of the computer?!”. he couldn't be more accurate…

2010.03.26 - YAPA

somewhere around two weeks ago i've been in the city of Łódź. there were 2 reasons for this. first one was concert of Rammstein. this was one of the best concerts i've ever been on. the funny thing is that you could take a deaf person for this show and (s)he'd be still having a great time. so much pyrotechnics in one place, along with good music… nothing more required! :)

but this was just a beginning of my time there. the unexpected main event was YAPA¹⁾ – student's festival of tourists' song. why unexpected? well – i already had my ticket for some time, i planned being there for few months or so… although i was not expecting what i saw. i've been on lot of different concerts in my life, but never ever on anything even remotely close to YAPA! i know no words to describe this specific climate in the air – song poetry, jokes, constant talking between artists and public… it started at 7p.m and when i had to go out it was already 2:30a.m., but concert still lasted! as i found out, there were 2 more bands playing after i left. my bad luck was that i was able to be only on 1 of the four parts of whole festival. i won't let this happen then next year – YAPA is just once per year – such an experience and so little time to enjoy it.

YAPA, since 1974, when it all begun, always starts with Can-can dance, including the public. then there were few classical, polish tourists songs sung in memory of Zenek Janek – one of the founder of YAPA, who dies few months ago.

whole festival of YAPA 2010 can be listened from the internet. tens of hours of great music, giving a taste of this climate, that cannot by described by words. someone said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. nothing more, nothing else! i strongly encourage you to listen to the saturdays' night concert opening. there are songs that are widely known, and will never be forgotten:

9:34 – “Grosza nie mam”
16:25 – “Mój świat” (first song sung on first YAPA's edition)
23:05 – “Połoniny niebieskie” (sung with the public, in memory of Zenek Janek)

let me introduce you with part of “Grosza nie mam” (along with english translation):

“grosza nie mam i nie będę nigdy swego domu miał ale za to robił będę to co tylko będę chciał…” (PL)

“i don't have a penny and i'll never have my home but instead i'll do always whatever i want…” (ENG)
