Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Answers will vary.

This fusion started as a studio mix of muzyka Podhala (by the Trebunie-Tuki family string band) and reggae (by The Twinkle Brothers)
The continuous reggae beat (dub) is heard throughout the recording along with the sound from time to time of a Grale kapela (string band) playing a traditional gralski dance tune.
The text is a loose translation of the original Grale text and concerns a universal Robin Hood-like symbol of freedom and justice.
The fusion project tells about how Grale musicians are able to use world beat and their own traditional music to tell stories about present-day Podhale and Poland in a global context.
