Grupa Bluesowa Stodoła

Polish Blues Band

Polish blues band, which was formed in autumn 1969 on the initiative of Halina Szemplińska, Władysław Dobrowolski and Tomasz Bielski. Band line-up often changed. Initially, he operated under the auspices of the Warsaw Club "Stodoła". Musicians of the group based their repertoire on blues music. Her first program was "Blusełka", which is a combination of Negro songs of gospels and spirituals with traditional Polish customs and language traditions, although the type of this spectacle is difficult to define. In 1972, after the premiere of the "Afryka, misterium, kwiaty" program, Blues Group (after a partial change of name: from Stodoła to Warsaw), it fell apart. Her traditions were continued by the Gramine group.
