Kroke

KROKE is a Polish instrumental ensemble of world music. The band's name in Yiddish means Kraków.
The band was founded in 1992 by three friends and graduates of the Academy of Music in Kraków. Initially, they were associated with klezmer music with strong Balkan influences. Currently, their work draws inspiration from a variety of ethnic music and sounds of the Orient (especially on the album Seventh Trip), combining these with jazz to create their own distinctive style.
In addition to their own projects, KROKE have also recorded albums with artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Edyta Geppert, Maja Sikorowska and Tindra.
One of their songs, "The Secret of the Life Tree", features on the soundtrack of David Lynch's 2006 film ''Inland Empire''.
==History==
The first official release from KROKE was the 1993 cassette “Klezmer Acoustic Music”. During a promotional concert for the album, the band met Steven Spielberg, who invited them to perform at the “Survivors Reunion” concert in Jerusalem, Israel and during the Polish premier of the film ''Schindler’s List''.
In 1996, the band signed with the German record label Oriente Musik. The first album of material, released the same year, through this collaboration was ''Trio''.
Upon the invitation of Peter Gabriel, KROKE made their first appearance at the WOMAD festival in July 1997. As a result, joint recording sessions at Real World Studios with other musicians led to material from the band being subsequently used by Peter Gabriel on his album ''Long Walk Home''- music from the ''Rabbit-Proof Fence'', the soundtrack to the film of the same name. In the same year, KROKE released their second full-length album – ''Eden''.
The following years saw the band constantly touring, during with time they participated in such prestigious music festivals as: Umea Folk Music Festival (Sweden); City of London Festival (UK); Førde Folk Music Festival (Norway); North Sea Jazz Festival (the Netherlands) as well as many others. During this time, the albums ''Live at the Pit'' (1998 – nominated for the German Record Critics’ Award -Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik in 1999) and ''The Sounds of the Vanishing Wold'' (1999 – winner of the German Record Critics’ Award in 2000) were released.
In 2001, KROKE began collaborating with Nigel Kennedy, the result of which was the album ''East Meets East'', released in 2003. During the same year, the band released ''Ten Pieces to Save the World'' as a trio. This album went on to rank number two in the World Music Charts Europe.
Along with Nigel Kennedy, the band once again performed at the WOMAD festival in 2004. The same year, KROKE received a nomination in the World Music category from BBC Radio 3 for the album ''Quartet – Live at Home'' (with Tomasz Grochot on drums, who went on to tour with the band over the next few years) as well as working with Edyta Geppert, which would later bring about the joint release ''Śpiewam życie'' (2006). At the same time, a project was begun with the Sinfonia Baltica orchestra, entitled “KROKE – symfonicznie”, conducted and arranged by Bohdan Jarmołowicz.
In 2006, KROKE's song “The Secret of the Life Tree” appeared on the soundtrack to David Lynch's film ''Inland Empire''.
Another original album entitled ''Seventh Trip'' was released in 2007.
2008 was filled with concerts in Poland and throughout Europe as well as work on an "intimate project” arranged by Krzysztof Herdzin, which premiered in Spain with the Sinfonica de Burgos orchestra conducted by Javier Castro. Performances of this project played in Kraków and St. Petersburg in Russia with the accompaniment of Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted by Robert Kabara.
Released in 2009, the album ''Out of Sight'' was a kind of return to roots for the band. The musicians returned to working as a trio and their concerts took on a more intimate nature.
In 2010, they began work on a collection of Greek songs with Maja Sikorowska as well as performing concerts together with the Norwegian band Tindra and Spanish violinist Diego Galaz. Other special events that year included the recording of music for the film ''Streetcar Memories'', directed by Łukasz Czuj (the film played at the opening of the Schindler Factory Museum in Kraków), and participation in the Kennedy's Polish Weekend at the Southbank Centre in London alongside Nigel Kennedy. In the same year, KROKE performed at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival in Germany and took part in the concert “Your Angel's Name is Liberty”, directed by Robert Wilson, on occasion of the 30th anniversary of Solidarity in Gdańsk.
In January 2011, the collaboration album ''Śpiewam Życie'' with Edyta Geppert was certified “gold”. That same month, KROKE along with Maja Sikorowska completed work on the album ''Avra'', which contains 12 Greek songs. This project also involved guest percussionist Sławomir Berny.
In the same year Kroke & Tindra released album ''Live in Førde'' - the recordings were made in the auditorium at Førdehuset on July 10, 2010 for NRK's radio P2.
