Native (PL) – cinematic funk/jazz/oriental

Worum es geht

Native is a six-piece band from Kraków fascinated by 1970s funk. Their original music blends Latin grooves with jazz improvisations, and an oriental atmosphere with an action-movie flair. The band has performed in Poland and abroad, recorded the album „Live Session“ in Radio Kraków, and received recognition from polish cultural institues and radio stations. The band is about to release new album by the end of 2026. The musicians‘ inspirations come from classics such as Curtis Mayfield, Herbie Hancock and Heatwave, through sounds straight from Brazil (Arthur Verocai, Marcos Valle), as well as the music from action films (Lalo Schifrin, Dave Grusin), or nu-jazz music (Cinematic Orchestra, Bonobo). The band is: Agnieszka Rybacka – saxophone, flute, vocals Krzysztof Piłacik – guitar Piotr Golemiec – bass Adam Kondraciuk – keyboards Piotr Świtlicki – congas, bongos, percussion Sławomir Zięba – drums
