Anawa (pron. 'Anava') is a Polish musical group founded in Krakow
in 1966, active on and off again until the early 1990s. The group has
changed members several times through the years. Best known as the
backup band for vocalist Marek Grechuta ( http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2875" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2875 ), it was one of the most
interesting examples of Polish progressive rock in the mid-1970s. Founded in December 1966 by pianist Jan Kanty-Pawluśkiewicz and vocalist Marek Grechuta http://culture.pl/en/node/5442033" rel="nofollow - , Anawa was originally the house band at the student cabaret at the Technology Architecture Department of Kraków University of. Its early compositions received awards at the Student Song Festival in 1967, with a debut album that followed in 1970. The 1971 album Korowód (Eng. Procession), with its rich arrangements that meld influences from various musical genres, is still considered one of the most original and inspiring Polish pop music releases ever. The band suspended its activities after parting ways with Grechuta in late 1971. Jan Kanty-Pawluśkiewicz reactivated the group with an almost completely new lineup in mid-1973. In December 1973, the band recorded the LP Anawa with texts by poets Leszek Aleksander Moczulski and Ryszard Krynicki http://culture.pl/en/node/5928586" rel="nofollow - sung by Andrzej Zaucha. The complex concept album, based primarily on acoustic instruments, was not appreciated at the time of its release. Years later, however, it is acclaimed as an outstanding record that was exceptional in the context of European progressive or experimental rock of the time.
