About
How does old Suwałki Region sound in contemporary music? The answer will be brought by concerts by Biele and fie.dronowicz at the Re:tradition – Jagiellonian Fair festival (August 21-23, 2026, Lublin). Through local songs and melodies, the artists will tell the story of their region in a completely new way.
The first of the line-ups consists of Julita Charytoniuk, Ula Murawko and Piotr Fiedorowicz, while the second is a solo project by the latter artist. Both acts draw from the same soundscape – archival recordings, accounts shared by local residents, and their own experiences connected with this place – while using different means of expression.
During the festival, these two initiatives will come together in a special collaboration to present songs, melodies and sounds drawn from local heritage and to combine them with electronics, samplers and contemporary rhythmic forms.
As they say:
These are two ways of telling the story of the same landscape and listening to it – rooted in tradition, but created here and now. It is not an outside perspective, but music created in the place it grows from and to which it constantly returns.

About the Re:tradition – Jagiellonian Fair festival
Re:tradition is an extraordinary festival of traditional music and craftsmanship. During three August days and nights, Lublin transforms into the capital of living traditional culture.
The festival program offers a wide range of attractions for both children and adults. It provides a unique opportunity to meet master artisans who, each year, showcase their exceptional handmade creations. Traditional music is also a key element of the Re:tradition festival, presented both in its authentic form and through the interpretations of contemporary artists.
The festival also features evening dance parties with live music, workshops, exhibitions, performances, film screenings, and meetings. Younger visitors can enjoy the Re:tradition Playground, where traditional games and pastimes are brought back to life.
The festival allows visitors to hear, see, touch, and experience folk culture, which during this time completely fills the streets of Lublin’s Old Town.
