Daj Ognia and DOLA for Mudita Association

The Mudita Association supports caregivers of people with disabilities, providing them with respite, assistance in daily challenges, and psychological support.

On December 5, 2024, a charity event took place, featuring Daj Ognia and DOLA, marking the premiere concert performance of their joint project! The proceeds from the event supported the statutory activities of the Mudita Association.

‘Dark folk’ and ‘alternative folk’ – these are the most common ways to describe the sound of Kraków-based Daj Ognia. Their music is born from a longing for an imagined village, built from visions and romantic fantasies woven somewhere between Poland and Scandinavia. Using archaic instruments historically played in these regions, with a theatrical flair, they intertwine melodies full of melancholic yearning with danceable, trance-like rhythms. Daj Ognia’s original compositions evoke the fire of bygone raves.

DOLA – The Song Without Dance Ensemble is a female group performing Slavic traditional songs – mainly ritual ones – focusing on their mythological, symbolic, and often magical meanings.
