Mazowsze

Mazowsze, for those who aren't Polish inclined, is a famous Polish folk group named after the Mazowse region. They are a state folk group of song and dance. Established back in 1948, this folk group was created to maintain regional artistic traditions, with songs, dances and costumes of the Masovian countryside.
Last week my mom, my godmother and I went down to Hamilton Place to see them. It was a fantastic show, the costumes were incredible, and the singing, even though I didn't understand a word of it, sounded great.
The ensemble consists of ballet, choir and orchestra. The group has given out already 6.5 thousand concerts during over 200 tournée around the world and performed in almost 200 places of Poland. The melodies used by Mazowsze come from approximately 40 ethnic parts of Poland. 100 dancers and singers and over 1500 costume changes, make for a wonderful performance.
