A concert to promote Marek Dyjak's latest album 'Men'.
Here is what the artist himself says about it:
"I am releasing and embarking on a tour to promote my latest album 'Men'. Another eclectic, even very eclectic album has been created. It will feature a variety of songs, songs, elegies. Five authors created the songs, and I basically chose them and just sang them. This material is a collection of stories about love and my journey. I didn't make any effort to change my image because of the album title, I didn't become more masculine or feminine.
There will also be standards from the pre-war archives. All this will be mixed with strong emotions on the concert tour, to which you are cordially invited.
The work on the material took three years, finishing on 18 April, my 50th birthday.
Devoted to you without rest - Dyjak Marek."
