Some Monday night inspiration ~

周一晚上灵感的呈现~即将来到的星期一晚上我们邀请大家来认识一下 Dagadana 世界音乐乐队,多才多艺的世界音乐艺术家会给北京社区的朋友们带来这次音乐旅行的幕后故事,一些灵感即兴表演，当然也会跟大家一起互动和创作一些音乐作品。把你的乐器(或任何能发出的声响)献给这场演出，发挥出大家的想象力！

This upcoming Monday night we invite you to our casual spontaneous meeting with Dagadana a world music band, who are flying to Beijing next week, right after a few world music festivals and recent WOMEX. 

These inspiring 4 young but established musicians (and just great guys) would love to meet with the Beijing community and share their behind-the-scenes stories of the travelling music band, some inspiration and of course make some music with us together. 

Bring your musical instrument (or anything that makes noise!) to jam and sing with the musicians! 

About Dagadana

Dagadana 组合在过去的八年里成立并融入了波兰和乌克兰文化元素，通过爵士乐、电子和世界音乐呈现给大家。乐队融合了传统民间旋律将传统歌曲的话,现代诗歌,歌词,在民族音乐工作室和家人朋友们一起寻找着创作音乐灵感。他们的表演方式和录制音乐的方法包括使用人声唱通过声音处理器,爵士声低音的引用，以及各种乐器(主要有钢琴和小提琴）

For the past eight years DAGADANA have triumphantly merged elements of Polish and Ukrainian culture through jazz, electronic and world music. The band incorporates traditional folk melodies which are set to words of traditional songs, modern poetry, and lyrics, finding their inspiration  at ethnic music workshops, among their families and friends, as well as their bookshelves. Their approach to performing and recording music includes the use of vocals sang through voice processors, trance, jazz acoustic bass influences, and various musical instruments (from piano and violin to toys). The band have embraced what tends to be overlooked today.  

Their latest record “Meridian 68" collects traditional songs from many regions of Poland as well as Ukrainian folk music. And there’s an exceptional piece recorded in Chinese - Kanding Qingge - a song  The Eastern influence is the result of an encounter with extraordinary musicians - Hasibagen from Mongolia and Aiys Song from China - during DAGADANA’s visit to Beijing. The “Meridian 68” album hit #8 at prestigious World Music Charts Europe and #14 at Transglobal World Music Charts.
