# Janusz Prusinowski Kompania

Janusz Prusinowski Kompania play rural music of Polish villages on fiddles, flutes, accordions, and other traditional instruments. They ground their music in dance rhythms, adding a modern improvisational flair to old melodies. They follow in traditions of village masters they have learned from, including Jan Lewandowski, Kazimierz Meto, Józef Zaraś, Piotr and Jan Gaca, Tadeusz Kubiak and many others. But they are also a progressive band with their own characteristic sound and language of improvisation. Kompania's unique style is the result of their attempt to find new ways of interpreting the most important elements of village music from central Poland. The band has performed in most European countries (including Poland of course), as well as in Asia and North America, including Carnegie Hall and the Chicago Symphony Center.
