They are known and liked. However, they have not played any concerts in Norway so far. This will change on June 16 - the band Farba will perform at the Vaer Stolt Festival in Oslo. However, the day before, i.e. June 15, we will host them in... Radio Wataha!
How did it start?
The band was founded in 2000 in Gdynia. Initially, they played concerts without any official name yet. However, that was soon to change. Before one of the first performances, the event sponsor scattered hair dye sachets among the audience. Most of them, however, broke and ended up everywhere - on stage and in front of the stage. For this reason, the band ended the show with the ready-made name - Farba. It has remained so until today.
Road to succes
The first successes included the individual achievement of the singer Joanna Kozak. In 2000, she was the winner of one of the editions of "Szansa na Nasze" - a program led by Wojciech Mann. In her winning performance, she performed a song by Anna Jantar entitled “As much truth as lies.”
A year later, together with the band Farba, they qualified for the 38th National Polish Song Festival in Opole in the "Debuts" category. This performance resulted in cooperation with Sony Music Polska. This label released the debut album "Musze krać!", which was promoted by the single "I want to stay". The promotional song turned out to be a radio hit - it topped the charts of many radio stations for many weeks. The album was promoted by two more singles - one titled “What if it's not true?” was also released on the TVP1 compilation Polskie Przeboje Jedynki vol. 5. It is worth noting that the clip for the third promotional song titled “Daleko” was shot in Chicago.
Other albums
The band did not stop its activities with one debut album. In 2008, the second album entitled “Traces”, which was published by MJM/EMI. It was promoted by singles such as: "Piosenka bez nowy" and "Don't tell me that".
For the tenth anniversary of their activity, the band recorded their third album entitled “10”, which was released in 2010. It featured, among others, the song "The Last Night", which was included on the soundtrack of the film entitled “Pigs” directed by Robert Gliński. During their concerts, they also present songs from the latest album titled “JOKO”. It will be released later this year.
An award-winning team
The Farba team can be proud of many awards. He has received an award from Radio FAMA three times. The final performance during the 2010th Carpathia Festival XNUMX International Song Festival is also one of the undoubted achievements.
What will they play in Oslo?
During his concerts, Farba plays the most famous songs from all albums released so far. They also present songs that will be released on the latest album titled “JOKO”. What distinguishes this band is its excellent contact with the audience. He is one of the few in Poland who invites his fans to the stage. They also always have surprises prepared in the form of CDs and signed photos of the band. Good fun and a singing audience - these are the images that most often accompany Farba's performances. Norwegian Polonia will be able to see this for themselves on June 16 during the Vaer Stolt Festival in Oslo.
On June 15, we invite you to listen to the broadcast with Farba!
