The album by Polish jazz vocalist and composer Ola Błachno is a musical story about two cities, people, travel, and freedom, which is the main theme of the project. Synonyms of freedom are: railway (or metro) stations, the motif of travel, two cities close to the artist’s heart (Berlin and Warsaw), and jazz, which historically and today, thanks to improvisation, is considered the music of freedom. The artist was inspired by industrial music, popular in the first half of the 20th century (sounds of locomotives, trains). However, imitations of travel sounds are not a key element of the project. It is a universal story about a person for whom travel is an opportunity for thought, reflection, and memories, and above all, for finding their own inner freedom. The album “Warschauer Strasse” will be released in January 2026 thanks to cooperation with Polish Radio. ✨ Ticket – 35 PLN ✨ Online free of charge
