Briefly, Krzysztof’s musical career. Who was his first teacher?
What will be an ideal response?
- Krzystof Trebunia-Tutka was born into a family that came from a long line of musicians. His father reluctantly began teaching Krzysztof how to play the violin and some local dances. This led to Krzysztof's successful joining of a school-sponsored regional dance/music troupe. His father eventually recognized his son's talent and taught him more about regional traditional music, including introducing Krzysztof to various music instruments such as the fugarka (a wooden flute) and the accordion. Subsequently Krzysztof's father let him join the family band and travel to play at various folk festivals. While studying at university Krzysztof started a successful and influential Górale-style song and dance group. This was followed by a worldbeat fusion recording with a Jamaican reggae band that made the popular music charts in Europe. The music featured muyzka Podhala including traditional texts. Today Krzystof is a legitimate pop star in Poland and the Trebunie-Tuki family tours the world playing a deliberate mix of very traditional-style music adapted to modern musical styles. Krzysztof remains grounded in his muzyka Podhala—he even still finds time to teach the basics of this style to young children—but he goes beyond the repertory and style of his ancestors to explore other regional and worldbeat-fusion styles.
