In Polish, "Górale" (pronounced goo-ra-leh) means mountaineers and, through generations has become synonymous with "music from the heart".
In this long awaited new release, "DUTY FREE POLKAS" by John Góra and Górale, we are again pleasantly entertained with the crisp yet smooth instrumentation stylings of the Górale. Add to this John's, Rick's and Tommy's superb English and Polish vocals on a mixture of new and traditional favorites and we have a release that will be a "must have" for every Polka lover.
And don't forget to make it a point to come out and see and hear the "Gorale" when they come to your town and be prepared to be delightfully entertained by North America's foremost Polka entertainers - John Góra and Górale.
