Toronto’s Polky, led by a dynamic group of multi-talented female immigrant musicians, captivates audiences with their vibrant vocal harmonies, unique instruments, and high-energy performances. Deeply rooted in Poland’s rich cultural heritage, Polky redefines tradition by blending Polish folk music with global influences. They introduce Canadians to the magic of Eastern European vocals, spirited Polish dances, and rare instruments like the suka, an ancient lap fiddle brought back to life from historical paintings.
