On Sunday, June 28, Bolesławiec will welcome lady Marika, an artist whose music combines reggae, funk and soul. She began her career in 2002 with the Bass Medium Trinity soundsystem, which released the very well-received album “Mówisz i masz” in 2004.
The artist has supported stars including: Macy Gray, Gentleman, Panjabi Hit Squad, Sean Paul and Missy Elliott. In summer 2007, the first single announcing Marika’s upcoming full-length album was released. The song “Moje serce” — the result of a collaboration with the production duo JuniorBwoy — became a genuine hit. On August 22, 2008, the artist’s solo album “Plenty”, released by Pomaton EMI, hit store shelves.
The concert will begin at 8:00 p.m. in the square in front of Piwnica Paryska. Tickets cost PLN 15 in advance and PLN 25 on the day of the concert. They can be purchased either at Piwnica Paryska or from the organizers (telephone: 793 747 778).
After the concert, an afterparty will take place at Piwnica Paryska. Performing for Bolesławiec residents will be Method Massiv, the most active local soundsystem. The group consists of vocalists Himalion, MichaJah and LadyBird, as well as Bolesławiec DJs: Jegomość and Fasol from Full Spontan Promotions, to whom we owe the revival of reggae/dancehall events in our city.
The concert is organized with the active cooperation and assistance of the Bolesławiec Cultural Centre.
