Peasant folklore from Upper Silesia

In the south of Poland, mountain ranges line up one after another. The majestic peak of Ochodzita separates the Silesian Beskids from the Żywiec Beskids. In the midst of this wonderfully untouched nature, the ensemble "Ochodzita" was founded in 1995, dedicated to the musical traditions of the Silesian highlands. Traditional music is heard in the concerts, as it has been played for centuries at weddings, church fairs, and harvest festivals, still experienced today in many mountain villages. Folk songs and dances from Żywiec and the Silesian plateau resonate on string and folk instruments such as bagpipes or accordion. What better place for this than the country's oldest church in Liepe, with its idyllic parish garden and ancient bell tower?
