Biography
Kroke is a jazz group, formed in 1992 in Kraków. Record labels: Universal Music Group and Oriente Musik. The discography here lists 18 albums, from “Klezmer Acoustic Music” (1993) to “Loud Silence” (2022).
Kroke is a Polish instrumental ensemble of world music. The band's name refers to the Yiddish language name for Kraków (קראקע, kroke). The band was founded in 1992 by three friends and graduates of the Academy of Music in Kraków. Initially, they were associated with klezmer music with strong Balkan influences. Currently, their work draws inspiration from a variety of ethnic music and sounds of the Orient (especially on the album Seventh Trip), combining these with jazz to create their own distinctive style. In addition to their own projects, Kroke have recorded albums with artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Edyta Geppert, and Urna. One of their songs, "The Secret of the Life Tree", features on the soundtrack of David Lynch's 2006 film Inland Empire.
