On September 5, the fifth Graj music festival was held at the NIEBO club in Warsaw. A full house (sold out) of 700 people, good sound, seven bands and an atmosphere of celebration and unity. Graj brought the season of Belarusian summer festivals to a fitting close, showcasing strong Belarusian passion.<\/p>\n

Young bands Rodvaloth<\/strong> and RaState<\/strong> opened the hours-long music marathon. As a reminder, they won the opportunity to share the stage with well-known artists in the competition for young performers traditionally organised by Graj. The jury selected two bands because the competition was strong; the festival organisers received dozens of applications from young artists, and both the audience and the jury voted for Rodvaloth and RaState.<\/p>\n

The young performers handed the baton to audience favourite Razbitae Sertsa Patsana<\/strong>. Excellent high-energy songs for slam dancing are the signature feature of Dzieciuki<\/strong>, who performed next. Then another group of “honoured extremists” took the stage \u2014 punks Dai Darohu!<\/strong> led by Yury Stylski<\/strong>. J:Mors<\/strong> raised the level of collective energy even further. The marathon was closed by Volski \u2014 as they say, those who stayed until the end did not regret it.<\/p>\n

A charity auction in support of Belarusian artists was held throughout the evening. The event hosts Valer Ruselik<\/strong> and Maryna Savitskaya<\/strong>, who created the atmosphere of the event, offered various lots for purchase, from a headdress belonging to Ales Dzyanisau<\/strong> of “Dzieciuki” to a painting by artist Yaraslau Kirvel<\/strong>, who captured Lavon Volski<\/strong> on canvas during his joint performance with Atesta<\/strong>. In total, the charity auction raised about 8,000 zlotys.<\/p>\n

The festival was attended by Belarusian leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya<\/strong>, Franak Via\u010dorka<\/strong>, and Pavel Barkouski<\/strong>. Visitors also had a chance to meet music journalist and writer Aliaksandr Charnukha<\/strong> and get his autograph.<\/p>\n

An art market was also held at the event, where visitors could buy works by Belarusian artisans and meet figures from Belarusian political and cultural life. “I had a really great time today<\/em>,” one of them shared his impressions. “Good sound, music, and lots of beautiful and sensible Belarusian men and women.”<\/em><\/p>\n
