LBB. Lemko Bluegrass Band. /digi-pack/.

"Dad goes to work – we turn the key to start!" – these are lyrics from the song "Cosmonaut" that convey the first impression from the LBB debut album. An album that's a joke, a discovery, a surprise, a challenge – it seems so light that one can only guess how much experience and labor one needed to invest for the sake of what seems the naughty ease. However, it is logical: masters do not work half-strong – and some of the guys, by the way, are simultaneously employed at a symphony orchestra, while others – at such known groups as Burdon, Kurbasy, HYCZ. There are a lot of materials in their hands and in their memory. But combining the folk music of the Carpathians with the North American folk – apparently, at first the idea sounded odd (for they also announced Carpathian bluegrass/Hutzul blues, etc.). Though – aren't there lots of our people in other worlds living there from ancient times and since recently? Not to mention that roots of the global folk music are interwoven very tightly, although not always obviously. To discover and clearly visualize that – that's the challenge. LBB have danced that subtly but stoutly: monologues about dialogues of cultures are not really needed when you have such illustrations at hand. Made with understanding and – love..
