Niebiesko-Czarni

Niebiesko - Czarni ( German The Blue - Black ) was a Polish band that existed from 1962 to 1976.

The band was founded in Gdynia in 1962 by the music journalist and "father of Polish rock music " Franciszek Walicki. In June of the same year she won the first Festival of Young Talents, followed by the first radio and recordings. With some justification, they can be as the first Polish rock band ever describe.

Throughout its existence, the band played in a very frequently changing cast. It included singers, who were influential for the Polish pop music in a different context at all, such as Czesław Niemen, Krzysztof Klenczon, who later became lead singer of the band Czerwone Gitary, Helena Majdaniec or Wojciech Korda.

Particularly unusual for its time was the fact of the very large international presence, a band from a communist state. These included not only the performances in France and the USA, but also in a number of other countries, again and again in large radio and TV stations such as Radio Luxembourg (1967 ), or Danny Sullivan Show ( 1971). In 1973 she created with naga ( naked ), the first Polish rock opera, which premiered on April 22 in Gdynia. After a once sensational concert in the then Soviet Lviv, the band broke up in 1976.

In the course of its existence it published eight LPs and 24 singles, selling well over 3.5 million times. Since the eighties there were several rather unsuccessful comeback attempts.
