Trebunie-Tutki is a band from Bialy Dunajec, a village at the foot of Tatra Mountains near the town of Zakopane. The Tatra region is exceptional from the folk point of view: elsewhere in Poland the mass media pop won over the young people of the villages, only the old people remember the local music, whereas in the Tatra region the young take pride in their traditional and learn the old ways. Thus Trebunie-Tutki are not the city people who learn the village music, they are the young people from the village themselves. Nevertheless they are the children of their time, the influence of pop music is very much visible (or rather audible) in their style. In fact their best-known record was made together with a reggae musician from Jamaica, Twinkle Brother, a mixture of two styles. Slowly the style of Trebunie-Tutki evolves from the traditional music towards what the title of their recent album describes best: etno-techno.
