Variété

Variété is a Polish experimental rock band formed in Bydgoszcz in the early 1980s, recognized for their distinctive fusion of new wave, cold wave, and jazz influences. The group is centered around vocalist and lyricist Grzegorz Kaźmierczak, whose haunting, poetic lyrics and deep, resonant voice have become a hallmark of Variété's introspective sound. Over several decades, Variété has evolved through numerous lineup changes while consistently pushing boundaries with atmospheric arrangements, inventive rhythms, and emotionally charged performances.

Renowned for their intense, theatrical concerts and acclaimed albums such as "Bydgoszcz" and "Piosenki Kolonistów," Variété remains one of Poland’s most influential alternative bands, exploring themes of alienation, modernity, and existential longing. Their longevity and adaptability underscore a commitment to artistic exploration, allowing them to maintain relevance and captivate audiences far beyond their underground roots.
