About

HrayBery (ГрайБери) is a Polish-Ukrainian ensemble based in Warsaw, founded in June 2023, that reconstructs dance music from the Galician borderlands of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Playing fiddle, hammered dulcimer and frame drum, the band draws its repertoire - cossacks, kolomyikas, mazurkas, polkas and waltzes - from archival scores and field recordings collected by Polish and Ukrainian researchers. The music reflects a region where Poles, Ukrainians, Jews and Roma once shared the same village inns. Within two years of forming, HrayBery won a Polish Radio Programme I award at the Nowa Tradycja festival and performed at WOMEX 2025 in Tampere.
