Slavic music or In Crudo village tradition? : Who needs folk music in Poland nowadays?

Małanicz-Przybylska, Maria (author)

This article analyzes the debate sparked by the soundtrack to the film The Peasants. It presents two opposing points of view: that of the In Crudo community, dedicated to reconstructing ‘authentic’ Polish village music, and that of enthusiasts of the world music scene, interested in the broader, intercultural, Slavic music idiom. Drawing on these perspectives, the author reflects on what traditional music is and who needs it in Poland today.

• Title: Slovanska glasba ali In Crudo vaška glasbena tradicija? : Kdo na Poljskem danes potrebuje ljudsko glasbo?

Abstract

Članek analizira razpravo, ki jo je sprožila glasba iz filma Kmetje. Predstavlja dve nasprotujoči si stališči: stališče skupnosti In Crudo, ki se posveča obnovi ‘avtentične’ poljske vaške glasbe, in stališče navdušencev svetovne glasbene scene, ki jih zanima širši, medkulturni, slovanski glasbeni izraz. Na podlagi teh perspektiv avtorica razmišlja o tem, kaj je tradicionalna glasba in kdo jo danes v Poljski potrebuje.
