In the framework of the International Jazz Festival in Albania Polish jazz band ZIEMIA will perform on 29th of September at Arka Center in Shkodër and on 30th of September at the VH Eurostar Hotel jazz club in Tirana. The concerts are part of a series of events organized under the JAZZ PO POLSKU project in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tirana. The band will perform in its original line-up: Oskar Tomala (guitar), Mateusz Żydek (trumpet), Jakub Wosik (double bass) and Alan Kapołka (drums).
The ZIEMIA’s live shows in Albania are organized by the JAZZ PO POLSKU Foundation as part of the JAZZ PO POLSKU “Around the World” project, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Tirana, local organizers of the “Jazz in Albania” festival and with the support of Culture.pl.
The JAZZ PO POLSKU “Around the World” project took the form of an international concert tour and is inspired by the achievements of the Polish traveler, Paweł Edmund Strzelecki, who was the first Pole to circumnavigate the world (between 1834-1843). As part of the project, Polish musicians will play over 100 concerts on four continents. The leaders of the Polish jazz and improvisation scene will take part in it. The project began in May with concerts of Polish artists in China, Japan, Israel, Canada, Romania and Vietnam. The project is under the honorary patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland and the partners are: ARP Foundation and PZU Foundation. The strategic partner is the Podlaskie Voivodeship. Patrons: National Chamber of Commerce, Institute of Economic Diplomacy Foundation, Jazz Forum, Warsaw Insider.
The JAZZ PO POLSKU Foundation is a non-governmental organization presenting a wide range of possibilities of Polish artists of the young generation. It helps establish international cultural cooperation and integrates artistic communities from many countries. It strives to refresh and strengthen the image of Polish jazz in the minds of foreign audiences.
