Voo Voo
Voo Voo is a Polish music band that was established in 1985.[1] The group's musical style is highly diverse, predominantly characterized by a fusion of rock and folk elements from various cultures, intertwined with a notable emphasis on improvisation. In more recent times, their creative repertoire has also embraced contemporary music genres like drum and bass, hip-hop, and nu jazz. The band's name derives from the initials of its founder and frontman, Wojciech Waglewski, with "W. W." being rendered according to English phonetic conventions. Voo Voo maintains an active association with a fan club known as "Wannolot." This fan club releases albums that cater to enthusiasts of the band, featuring live recordings, interviews, and tracks by the band that are not officially released through standard channels. Group historyVoo Voo was established in 1985, emerging from the core members of the Morawski Waglewski Nowicki Hołdys ensemble. Initially, Voo Voo comprised Wojciech Waglewski, Andrzej Nowicki (bass guitar), Wojciech Morawski (drums), and Milo Kurtis (percussion and trumpet). In the inaugural performances of 1985, Morawski was later succeeded by Marek Czapelski. With this lineup, the band made its debut at the Jarocin festival. Subsequently, Nowicki, Kurtis, and Czapelski departed from the band. The Pospieszalski brothers then took their place: Jan Pospieszalski on bass guitar and double bass, Mateusz Pospieszalski on saxophone, and Andrzej Ryszka (formerly of Tie Break, ex-Krzak) joined. During the early 90s, Piotr "Stopa" Żyżelewicz assumed the role of drummer, succeeding Andrzej Ryszka, who remained the drummer of Voo Voo until his passing on May 12, 2011. In 1997, the group participated in the electoral campaign of AWS. Subsequently, in 1998, Jan Pospieszalski departed from the band to concentrate on media endeavors. Karim Martusewicz stepped in to take his place. Band members
