Ralph Kamiski has won two Fryderyks, for his interpretations of Olga Jackowska and Maanam’s songs on the Kora album. His new album and stage image are rather the 1970s, and on the stage of the Forest Opera he sang Irena Santor’s 1985 hit entitled “No wild beaches anymore”.

After the video of the performance was posted online, there were very extreme comments. “Do people really like it now? This kind of music is not singing. It was hard to listen to it”, “Thank you to this gentleman, I understand that he has his own style but this is a caricature of a beautiful song” or “How can people like it. Desecrate the song with this clown” – these are some of the words of criticism that appeared under the post.
Of course, there were also a lot of words of support for the singer and admiration for his performance. Several Internet users referred to the career of Czesław Niemen. “Czes³aw Niemen in the 60s and 70s was also taken for a freak … only someone who has broader horizons than created pop culture will understand art … Bravo Ralph, Mrs Irena, I think he is bursting with pride!”, “HOW IS IT, THAT ORIGINALITY IS NEGOTIATED IN POLAND? Why is the unique artistic expression, unique stage creation and otherness, which makes someone absolutely original and unforgettable and stands out from the crowd, are criticized? someone had the audacity to go beyond the narrow horizons and yet the lack of openness and sophistication of AVERAGE Kowalski…? Czesław Niemen was also misunderstood and criticized! Micha³ Szpak caused a stir! let everyone, both on stage and in the streets, express themselves in the way they feel like it, if it makes them happy and fulfilled… Poles need more KINDNESS, EASE, DISTANCE AND JOY OF LIFE.”
