Carols by Jacek Kaczmarski
Szukamy stajenki - an unusual album

"Szukamy Stajenki" is an unusual album. It’s a long awaited set of beautiful and original Christmas Carrols written by Jacek Kaczmarski and Zbigniew Lapinski. What makes this album so unique is the fact that these songs have never been recorded in the studio before. This amazing record discovers an unknown, subtle face of Jacek Kaczmarski, the legendary poet and Solidarity movement’s bard.

Here we see Him full of sensitive and intimate reflection on the miracle of God’s birth in a human body. It is also a touching and full of profound thought description of events of that night, shown from various perspectives, in different aspects and dimensions. Songs are performed by young and talented vocalists (Malgorzata Czajka, Joanna Lewandowska, Janusz Krucinski and Mariusz Orzechowski) as well as by great Polish artists: Stanislaw Soyka, Mieczyslaw Szczesniak and Miroslaw Czyzykiewicz, whose timeless interpretations of Jacek Kaczmarski’s lyrics will undoubtedly take their place in history of Polish music and hearts of Poles around the world.

Wonderful and sparkling acoustic arrangements were scored by the composer himself - Zbigniew Lapinski and his son Dariusz Lapinski. "Szukamy Stajenki" is a tale of truth, emotion and hope that instantly becomes a classic from the moment it’s released. It’s an artistic alternative to the omnipresent tasteless and cheap Christmas music that floods the shops in December. We strongly recommend you that extraordinary and beautiful album as we believe it should remain in every Polish home.
