The Franco-Polish quartet LUMPEKS plays a music at the crossroads of jazz and

After a first opus very well received by the critics and the public, the group returns with a new repertoire – POLONEZ, collected directly from musicians during their various trips to the Polish countryside during their various trips to the Polish countryside.

Lumpeks is a winner of the Polish Radio’s Nowa Tradycja 2019 competition.

“The music of Lumpeks is characterized by its free, courageous, inventive and intuitive interpretation of the music of the group, courageous, inventive and intuitive interpretation of Polish traditional music.” (Piotr Kędziorek)
