– It was my great dream that film music would come to life in Poland – says Łukasz “LUC” Rostkowski, one of the stars of the first day of the Film Song Festival in Bydgoszcz. Today we will hear again a galaxy of artists and timeless hits. Where to watch Monday's concert?
– When we were working on “Peasants” four or five years ago, I didn't think that such beautiful things would happen with this soundtrack, that it would just happen, that we would go platinum, that so many people on different continents would dance to this music. It was a complete abstraction – said Łukasz “LUC” Rostkowski, announcing his festival performance with the Rebel Babel Film Orchestra in an interview with Ewelina Witenberg from TVN24. The composer and rapper admitted that he willingly returns to the soundtrack from this production. – Now it's fun to play it, when we are well-coordinated, we feel joy, we can combine and develop these compositions. There is no such stress of the premiere anymore, he said.
