Tołhaje

Founded by Damian Kurasz and Janusz Demkowicz in 2000, TOLHAJE was soon after joined by other musicians who come from the Subcarpathian region. The band is inspired by, inter alia, the tradition of the Boykos and Lemkos – ethnic groups living in Bieszczady before 1947, musical culture of South Eastern Poland (Lubelszczyzna – Polish historical region that encompasses Lublin) and ethnic groups of modern-day Ukraine.
