Alina Orlova / Lao Che Gdańsk 2008

To say that Alina Orlova is absolute revelation to me doesn't give justice to what I feel about her. I love lihuanian voices and she's among the most beautiful and trust me she has lots of competition.
She calls her music alternative folk.

Lao Che is alternative rock band from Poland. It's musicians have background in various genres from metal to hip-hop which shows through their ecclectic style and juicy, intelligent lyrics and language taken straight from everyday life. They have released "Gusła" album inspired by slavic history and beliefs and thrilling "Powstanie Warszawskie" (Warsaw Uprising) which is a history about heroic rise of our capital against bloody, german oppressors. I have not yet heard their latest "Gospel". They are widely respected and have a huge number of faithful and devoted fans.
No one knows what will their next project sound like and as they say in interviews, they do not know it neither .
Enough, because I guess they wouldn't be very happy finding out that someone writes about them in this boring manner:)
