Their female wild & intuitive energy are amazing. Come and join the magical, polyphonic singing journey with traditional songs from different countries and regions with a capella singing as well as with ethnic instruments.

Laboratorium Pieśni – Song Laboratory is the group of female singers from Poland, created in 2013. Using traditional, polyphonic singing they perform songs from all over the world, mainly: Ukraine, Balkans, Poland, Belarus, Georgia, Scandinavia and many other places. They sing a capella as well as with shaman drums and other ethnic instruments (shruti box, kalimba, flute, gong, zaphir and koshi chimes, singing bowls, rattles etc.), creating a new space in a traditional song, adding voice improvisations, inspired by sounds of nature, often intuitive, wild and feminine.

The traditional songs are often brought from their source - different regions of Poland, Europe and world, by the members of the group - having their unique history and evolving in the course of work. Finally, they are performed in a new form - traditional or enriched.

Laboratorium Pieśni, apart from singing and participation in festivals, is also conducting field researches, in order to find new-old music: trip to Albania - polyphonic songs (2014), research in Kashubian region - funeral songs (2013/2014), research in Lower Silesia region - carol singers rituals (winter 2013). The group is also creating theatre performances, where they are using traditional songs to tell stories about disappearing rites: 'Pory Roku' / 'Seasons' 2013, 'Puste Noce - Pieśni, które już się kończą' / 'Empty Nights - Songs that have come to an end' (2014).
