Male side of the song: Marek Dyjak “Men”

There are such voices that not only fall into the ear, but also resonate throughout the body. This is exactly the experience that viewers in the Culture Zone will experience during a special evening from the series “The Male Side of the Song”. An uncompromising character will be on stage — Marek Dyjak, who will present his latest, most personal project entitled “Men” as part of a concert tour. This is an evening created for those who are primarily looking for truth and raw emotions in music.

Work on the material for the album “Men” lasted as much as three years and symbolically closed on the fiftieth birthday of the artist. This time brought considerable, extremely positive changes in the singer's private life, which directly affected the nature of the upcoming concert. In the Culture Zone, the audience will meet “New Dyjak” — a creator who enriches the previous, dark and dramatic image with serene songs celebrating the bright sides of human destiny.

The artist himself announces this program as an extremely eclectic collection of stories about love and his own winding path. On stage we will hear a variety of songs, intimate elegies and even a deep-rooted standard from pre-war archives. Dyjak is not trying to become forcibly more masculine. He remains one hundred percent authentic, sharing his maturity and calmness with viewers.

The experience of Marek Dyjak's live concert escapes the standard framework of music reviews. His voice is a phenomenon on the Polish stage — bronze, wide, heavy and marked by intriguing hoarseness. When Dyjak sings, every sound resounds at the boiling point. It is this unprecedented expression that makes simple songs turn on stage into poignant theatrical performances.

This concert is not only the vocal power of Dyjak, but also the highest standards of artistry of the accompanying instrumentalists. The elite of the Polish jazz scene will appear on the stage, weaving an intricate, deep background for the stories told.

The concert as part of the cycle “The Male Side of the Song” is a proposal for anyone who wants to escape the plastic, radio repetitiveness. The combination of the brilliant lyrics of five independent authors, the jazz virtuosity of the band and the magnetic voice of the singer guarantees an experience that will touch the most tender strings of sensitivity.

Marek Dyjak gives himself to his audience without rest — and it is this boundless sincerity that is the greatest value of this event. We invite you to experience these extraordinary musical stories together.
