Pianist

Polish Jazz Festival presents the legendary vocalist, composer, lyricist, and producer, Kayah, one of the most recognisable and acclaimed artists in Poland.

Since her debut release in 1995, followed by 11 Gold and Platinum LPs (Skała, Kamień, Transoriental Orchestra), Kayah has established herself as the most unique and prominent Polish female singer/songwriter.

Over the course of her illustrious solo career, which saw her collaborate with greats like Goran Bregović, Cesária Évora and Yasmin Levy, the artist has touched upon a multitude of genres such as pop, soul, jazz, funk, world, dance and even Jewish or Balkan music.

On top of countless awards, in 2007, Kayah was invited as the first Central and Eastern European artist to play an MTV Unplugged concert, which resulted in an album of the same name.

Kayah: ‘Jazzayah’

Cadogan Hall

Polish jazz singer and composer Urszula Dudziak hardly needs an introduction, recognised as one of the best jazz vocalists in the world. Her illustrious career has seen her perform and record with legends such as Krzysztof Komeda, Bobby McFerrin, Herbie Hancock, Nina Simone, Sting, and many others.

One could list her extraordinary vocal range, perfect intonation, and unique vocal technique, but music is only part of who Urszula Dudziak is. An artist with boundless reserves of optimism, which she shares with everyone around her. In someone else’s case, it might sound like a cliché, but it’s enough to spend a moment in her presence to understand that this energy is a true superpower.
