• 

  "Tango Beskidu" is a musical piece that illustrates the once-divided border between Lalicz and Koniaków. In the past, it was forbidden to even form pairs between these towns, and associations were also frowned upon. Any deviations from these rules could even lead to disinheritance. Fortunately, those times are behind us. This piece is performed by: - Marcin Sidor on violin - Katarzyna Gacek-Duda on violin - Beniamin Wałach on viola - Martin Wałach on double bass - Joanna Piszczelok on piano - Mirosław Stępień on accordion The music for this piece was created by Katarzyna Gacek-Duda, and the mix and mastering were done by Maciej Stach. The author of the photographs is Mateusz Jachym, and the production of the video was handled by Lumberjack Studio. "Tango Beskidu" was recorded in the Concert Hall of the State Secondary Music School I and II degree in Bielsko-Biała, during the session for the debut album "Kingdom of Beskid - HALA". This piece is not only a musical work but also reminds us of the divided community that existed in the past. Through Tango Beskidu, the artists convey to us the history and tradition of this region, which is extremely valuable.

  This wonderful video "Tango Beskidu" perfectly captures the specificity of this region. It shows how, in the past, the borders of the Lalik and Koniaków regions were very strictly guarded, and connections between them were forbidden. It was terrible that even friendships were discouraged. Today, we are happy that such restrictions are behind us. The musicians wonderfully conveyed this difficult atmosphere in their performance. Their playing is incredibly emotional and moving. Each of them found their place in the piece perfectly, and together they create an unforgettable harmony. Thanks to artists like them, we can admire and appreciate our culture and history. "Tango Beskidu" is a beautiful work of art that is worth knowing and appreciating.
