WORKING WITH AN ORCHESTRA IS AN HONOUR – KASTA ON WINDRAP!
“Gdzieś w nas” is another single from the album joining Narodowa Orkiestra Dęta in Lubin with leading Polish hip-hop creators. Released in April, it features Kasta, Grubson, Liroy, Łona, Vienio, Abradab, Jarecki and Rahim, among others, with the orchestra led by Mariusz Dziubek.
THE SINGLE ‘GDZIEŚ W NAS’
Rappers aren't usually considered musicians, so receiving an invitation to work with dozens of instrumentalists is always an honour and legitimises us as artists. The conductor's energy and attitude made me happy to accept the invitation, recalls Kasta, whom we hear on “Gdzieś w nas”
“Although we worked on the whole thing remotely, I have very fond memories of making ‘Gdzieś w nas’. Mateusz Schmidt suggested a melody, I quickly wrote the lyrics, and then we refined the arrangements with the orchestra to make everything sound its best. I am enormously grateful to every musician and everyone who contributed to this project, especially Tomek Lektarski for inviting me. Although I had worked with an orchestra before, WINDRAP! Orchestra is a truly unusual and interesting concept,” the rapper adds.
About ‘WINDRAP! Orchestra’
Narodowa Orkiestra Dęta in Lubin has accustomed listeners to its successful interpretations of classical music, religious songs, familiar film themes and iconic pop, rock and reggae compositions. Some time ago, the ensemble led by Mariusz Dziubek set itself an unusual new challenge: a project with leading Polish hip-hop artists. This resulted in an album full of surprising musical combinations and guest appearances by Poland’s most interesting performers. Importantly for a venture of this kind, it consists entirely of new, previously unknown songs.
The Orchestra has collaborated with Poland’s finest rappers, producers and composers. Six singles have already been released: “Znamy się tak krótko”, featuring jazz and pop singer Maria Sadowska, Polish hip-hop pioneer Liroy and genuine stage animals NO LOGO; “Malkontent” and “To co mam”, on which Abradab, Rahim and Kleszcz teamed up with NOD; “Luksus”, where the orchestra is joined by Polish-Ukrainian DAGADANA and Łona, one of the most interesting representatives of so-called intellectual rap; “Masz mnie za nic”, featuring Vienio, one of the Polish hip-hop scene’s best-known and most respected artists; and “Pytania i wybory”, with rapping by Grubson, Abradab and Jarecki.
LIONSTAGE is the executive producer of the WINDRAP! Orchestra album and project.
