About Me

Baaba was founded at the break of the centuries, firstly by Bartosz Weber alone. After the first record filled with electronica, the project started to evolve from a studio concept into a live band. After six years and four albums it has been described as the Polish underground supergroup joined by the famous jazz and underground musicians and producers. The current line – up includes: Tomasz Duda (saxophones, flute, sampler), Bartosz Weber (guitar, sampler), Piotr Zabrodzki (bas ), Macio Moretti (drums,). Already since its first form (2002), the band has had enthusiastic welcome and won a large fan base around Poland. Baaba has given concerts in Poland and Europe (France, Germany), in clubs and at respected jazz and electronica festivals (Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Astigmatic, Les Nuits Europeeenes (Strasbourg), Terra Polska -Berlin, JVC Jazz Festival). The new record („Poope Musique") saw the light of day in June 2006. It includes premiere compositions as well as live performance in a Cracow club Alchemia. The album gained enthusiastic reviews.„Poope Musique” shows master display of sample cutting, instrumental skills and great sense of humor - Baaba strikes back”! Jacek Skolimowski Machina „The double album by Baaba is an energetic injection of improvised music (…). Fresh, uncompromised sounds (…). Four musicians: Weber, Moretti, Duda and Mazolewski went on a war against stereotype, (…) and won. All this is because besides great performance mastery, the record defends itself with sense of humor, wit and melody. „Poope Musique” is an album winning you with its „expect the unexpected” solution. Baaba show their skills at concerts. Don’t be a fool– listen to „Poope Musique”. Adrian Chorebala, Ultramaryna„The studio recordings of Baaba are closer to electronics but what we listen to at concerts is postmodern play with sounds mainly with use of traditional instruments. The specter from jazz – rock melodies through psychedelic down tempo to dancey funk tunes was audible throughout the concert. The band knew how to excite the audience throwing quotations evident like pop tunes or subtly suggesting genres through rhythmic or melodic solutions. All this happened in an aura of exciting fun or sometimes ironic mocking at stage poses copied from rock mainstream of the 80’s. Baaba has a chance of a knockout when developing their formula” Maciej Kozlowski , i-krakow.comBaaba powstala na przelomie wieków , gdy to Bartosz Weber samotne noce nad komputerem spedzajac wymyslal szalone melodie, które spotkaly sie z zywym zainteresowaniem warszawskiej wytwórni Cpt. Sparky. Tak oto swiatlo dzienne ujrzala pierwsza samozwancza plyta (2000). Zawierala kompozycje oscylujace wokól wesolej elektroniki i ciezkich awangard. Wtedy to juz wiedzac, iz wlasna inwencja mu nie wystarcza zaprosil Weber do udzialu w nagraniach miedzy innymi Macia Morettiego, który to wszechstronnie uzdolniony mezczyzna wspiera go do dzis swa rada i wiedza z zakresu najnowszych trendów i mód. Jak sie powiedzialo 'b', nalezalo tez powiedziec 'a', a nawet znów 'b' i znów 'a'. Wiedziony impetem i poklepywaniami krytyków, Baaba tworzy dalej swe wyziewy, znów zapraszajac do udzialu kolegów i wydajac w roku 2002 plyte o nazwie „Con Gas!'. Wraz z jej wydaniem powstaje kwartet koncertowy, obecnie w skladzie Tomasz Duda – saksofony, Bartosz Weber – gitara, sampler, Macio Moretti – perkusja, Piotr Zabrodzki -bas. Rozpoczyna on nowy zywot Baaby jako regularnie koncertujacego zespolu. Juz od pierwszej swojej edycji (2002) zespól Baaba jest entuzjastycznie przyjmowany podczas koncertów w calej Polsce. W miedzyczasie powstaja koncertowy bootleg „Warszawa – Gdansk" (2003) oraz plyta z remiksami (2004). Baaba koncertuje w Polsce i zagranica (Francja, Niemcy, Slowacja, Bialorus), zarówno w klubach , jak i podczas uznanych festiwali jazzowych i elektronicznych (Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Astigmatic, Les Nuits Europeeenes (Strasbourg), Terra Polska (Berlin), Unsound. Rok 2005 i 2006 to wytezona praca nad nowym materialem, poprzedzona wizyta w studiu. Ostatnia plyta, „Poope Musique" (CD/DVD - Lado ABC 2006), zbierajaca swietne recenzje, zawiera premierowy material, jak równiez koncert nagrany w krakowskiej Alchemii oraz wiele innych dodatków.
