The battle of bands formula indirectly refers to various types of musical battles (like, for example, battles of Balkan brass bands), but it’s not about a contest, competition or any kind of valuation, but about the kind of relationship, the flows that is the foundation of musical exchange. The two bands preparing for the battle – the “rustic one” and the “urban one”, as we can label them conventionally – are going to fight, talk, and interact with each other by means of the musical pieces, warming up the atmosphere and provoking the audience to dance between the stages. The “town” tradition is represented by Warszawska Orkiestra Sentymentalna (Warsaw Sentimental Orchestra), while the “country” by The Tęgie Chłopy (Strudy Fellas) band.
