Hajda Banda / Гайда Банда is a Polish-Belarusian band, performing traditional dances and songs from western Belarus, eastern Poland's Podlasie and Polesye.
In May 2022, the group won the Audience Award, 3rd jury’s prize and the Szczecin’s Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic Award during the 24th Polish Radio Folk Festival "New Tradition".
The band's repertoire: songs and dances (polka, oberek, tango, waltz and many more) from both sides of the Białowieża Forest are performed with youthful energy and artistic finesse taken from the old masters of rural music.
The group's debut album gathered the financial support from more than 100 fans via a crowdfunding campaign and will be released in Autumn 2022.
