Some 10+ years ago, the Polish American Journal set out to preserve the important Polish Christmas carols - or kolΔdy i pastoralki - that have been at the heart of Polish Christmases ever since the Middle Ages.
While other such kolΔdy albums have been produced, this project gathered the best Polish-American musicians & vocalists from around the country to form a "supergroup" - the Polish American All Stars.
These all star performances help ensure the music lives on from generation to generation, acting as an archival vehicle for some of Poland and Polonia's "lost" Christmas music.
This track is a perfect example, as it combines (quite possibly) two of the best Polish-American polka vocalists ever in:
- Lenny Gomulka, IPA Hall of Famer & 19 time IPA "Male Vocalist of the Year" award winner; and
- Jackie Libera, IPA Hall of Famer.
Song: Ej Bylismy Bravia (Brothers, We Were In Bethlehem)
Band: Polish American All Stars
Album: Polish Village Christmas II

The group had a loyal following, played many of the largest polka events across the country, and had a generally fun & lively, party vibe - which was also represented in a number of loyal (and younger) fans that came out to see them play.
Hereβs a fun tune from their first album with Sunshine...enjoy!
