In July, Polish maritime music group, Sasiedzi, premiered their latest song, “Upiorny dług”* on their YouTube channel, and other music streaming channels like Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Spotify.
The song was first presented by Sąsiedzi at the 2023 edition of the International Festival of Sea Songs “Shanties” in Krakow, Poland, and it immediately made a big impression on the Jurors, as they awarded it the Monika Szwai Award for the best premiere at the festival. Band members, elevated by this successful premiere, felt that there was nothing left to do but to record it in the studio. This took place in late May and early June of 2023.
Jakub Owczarek produced the recording, Marek Wiklinski and Rafal Krzysztoń wrote the lyrics and Mirek Walczak, Marek Wiklinski and Jakub Owczarek wrote the melody. The whole band was responsible for the arrangement, and the cover for Sasiedzi’s second single was designed by Ela Janerka – the guitarist and vocalist of the band Wbrew Pozorom.
