Andrzej Duda wrote a letter to Alicja Majewska on the occasion of her 75th birthday. The content surprises

Alicja Majewska is one of the most talented artists of Polish song. The singer celebrates her 75th birthday, which did not go unnoticed by Andrzej Duda. On this occasion, the President decided to write a letter to her, in which he did not hide his words of appreciation. “Your interpretations of sacred songs are moving” – we can read in the letter. He then referred to the Wiktory gala and cooperation with Artur Andrus, who had to quit his job at Radio Three years ago.

The president began his letter with wishes and a superlative presentation of the artist. “I am very pleased to congratulate you on your birthday. On behalf of myself and many compatriots who admire your singing talent, I would like to thank you for all the emotions and reflections you give us. Please accept my appreciation for enriching Polish culture with your artistic achievements” – wrote in the introduction.

“Your songs and songs transform our everyday life, add tender colors and lyrical mood to it”

He went on to directly state that the decision to pursue a solo career after being a member of Parkita’s band was “the right and happy decision”. He also called Alicja Majewska a wonderful lady of Polish song that goes straight to the hearts of listeners. Then he went on to list the most important songs of the singer: “Numerous songs from your repertoire – »There are days like this«, »There is still a sail of white«, »We will discover unknown love«, »Being a woman«, »March of lonely women« or »It’s not art build a new house” – have become great, timeless hits. In the minds of Poles, you are remembered as an outstanding star of many editions of the Polish Song Festival in Opole. You have also won many valuable foreign awards. Your songs and songs transform our everyday life, add tender colors and lyrical mood,” said Andrzej Duda.

He also pointed out that due to the great talent of the artist, she is in demand by many recognized composers, songwriters and performers who want to collaborate with her. He admitted that “enchanted by her unique voice, the most outstanding Polish composers, songwriters and performers willingly cooperate with her”. “You are looking for artistic fulfillment not only in lighter or ballad forms, but also invite you to deeply experience the Polish spiritual tradition. Your interpretations of sacred songs and pieces that are part of the oratorios of Włodzimierz Korcz and Ernest Bryll are moving,” wrote the president.

Andrzej Duda referred to the questionable Wiktors and … Artur Andrus

He also allowed himself to emphasize that last year the artist was honored with a special award at the Wiktorów gala, which is organized by the Television Academy. “The SuperWiktor award, awarded to you last year for your entire professional career, has become a wonderful, extremely justified laurel for your long-term achievements,” the president mentioned. It is worth recalling that last year’s Wiktor gala aroused much controversy and was boycotted by many artists. The event was canceled this year.

In the next part, he allowed himself to praise the artist’s new work and charity work. He even referred to cooperation with Artur Andrus – a former journalist of Radio Three, who parted with this radio station in unfavorable circumstances. “Just half a year ago you released a new album in which, singing songs with lyrics by Artur Andrus, you encourage us to celebrate the moments that fall into our hands and enjoy everyday life. Thanking you for this beautiful message, I would also like to express my deep appreciation for your activity and involvement in charity, including for help and solidarity with Ukrainians experiencing the war drama. You are a dedicated ambassador of the Prophet Elijah Hospice Foundation. You are also one of the most recognizable figures participating in collections for the renovation of Stare Powązki – our national necropolis ” – we read.

“On the day of the jubilee, please accept the best wishes of health, serenity and creative energy, as well as many more achievements and fulfillment of all plans. May the reward for creative effort be the admiration, gratitude and sympathy of the audience, and let the joy of success taste even more fully during moments of respite in the backyard garden meticulously tended by you” – summed up Andrzej Duda.
