Wojciech Cugowski discusses estrangement from family

Musician Wojciech Cugowski has spoken about the ongoing estrangement from his father, Krzysztof Cugowski, and his brother, Piotr. In an interview with Monika Richardson on the podcast ‘Przełomy’, Wojciech revealed that the family rarely maintains contact, even during holidays or birthdays.

He noted that a professional collaboration under the name ‘Cugowscy’—which included the gold-certified album ‘Zaklęty krąg’ released in 2016—was intended to rebuild their closeness, but failed to achieve that goal. Wojciech stated that the breakdown in relationships was not solely his decision, remarking, ‘It is not as if I broke off and that is it. We all broke off from each other.’

Reflecting on the duration of the rift, he mentioned that the lack of contact with his father has lasted for over eight years. He also touched upon the historical impact of his father's long concert tours and his parents' divorce on their family dynamics.
