After 3 years of determination and struggle the second album by The Band from the Village of Warsaw arrives in 2002. People's Spring presents Polish folk music in an agressive new light: traditional singing "upon scream", strings bugle-calls, drums' cannonades, trance and improvisations, roots vibration as well as youthful joy and passion are fused into a vibrant new work in 13 tracks and two remixes by Polish producers and DJ's Piotr Pucylo & Mario Dziurex.

"Proud, inquiring, revolutionary, masterly performed, imbued with a youthful enthusiasm that revitalizes you on every listen and manifests why it still means something to be searching for music all over the world, instead of being content to listen to mainstream pop. This is a recording for anyone who is mesmerized by Värttinä, music from the Baltic States, the energy of Roma music or the mysticism of the Sufi, Dervish and Chassidic traditions." - Nondas Kitsos, RootsWorld (see the full review)

 Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
