Live music festivals light up Poland with FiśBanda in Zakopane and Bujaturla at OFF

The folk‑rock group FiśBanda delivered an energetic performance at the second concert of the 2026 "Muzyka u Wnuka" festival in Zakopane on 18 July. The band’s lineup – Andrzej Jarząbek “Fiś” (violin), Robert Czech (double bass), Stanisław Rzadkosz (accordion) and Paweł Dziedzina (viola) – impressed the audience with virtuosic arrangements of Balkan, Hungarian, gypsy and original material from their album "Jak te góry kocham Cię". Local officials including Zakopane mayor Łukasz Filipowicz attended, and a second concert was announced for 19 July featuring the Italian trio Accordi Dissacordi.

Separately, the Polish ensemble Bujaturla spoke about their upcoming appearance at the OFF Festival, emphasizing their devotion to live performance over studio work or online distribution. Front‑man stressed that "rock never stops," describing the group's collaborative, multi‑instrumental approach in which songs develop organically during rehearsal rather than being pre‑planned.

Both events illustrate a vibrant local music scene that prioritises on‑stage energy and community engagement.
