KATARZYNA KACZOROWSKA: – “Fists in hand, a cross around his neck / The hussar of Christ, the soldier of Mary / The traitor flees, we praise the name / [charkotliwie, bucząco] ‘She has not perished and will not perish!’ “. These are the lyrics of your song from the latest album “Moja bańka”.
KUBA SIENKIEWICZ: – I didn’t have to play with this text. The words rushed through my brain. Just look at the streets. Even in 2015, 2016, I watched the independence marches from around the corner and then left town and followed what was happening in the media. I didn’t need my own invention. Formations with such names do exist.

Soldiers with rosaries made of metal balls, like weapons.
What seems like a profound contradiction, an oxymoron, is a fact. Times are bad for Poland, but excellent for a political song, because you can easily write more protest songs. To be clear, that’s not what a singer-songwriter needs to be happy. In the years of greater stability, it was not boring at all. There were a lot of interesting topics, even if they weren’t accompanied by such a fuss.

Are you angry or angry or disappointed in your bubble?
I feel – as before – an observer. I wouldn’t relate the emotions you talk about to my work at all, because the job of the singer is to entertain, not to suffer. Even though my song feeds on reality, its main purpose is to please the listener and the performer. Since the 1989 elections, it was believed that half of Polish society supported the system of the Polish People’s Republic, I am no longer disappointed.

In a word, is it protest entertainment?
Or an entertainment event.

You participated in the activities of the Association of Independent Students in the 1980s.
