Ńoko in a captivating way combines modern electronics with dark jazz and psychedelic rock, which will take you into the unique and mysterious world of Slavic mythology and
cyberpunk.
The band’s music is created during improvisation sessions, where creativity is catalyzed by an energetic, spontaneous act of performing music without assumptions and without limitations. It is this energy that makes the band’s music fresh, and the rhythms make listeners dance uncontrollably. The album “Aurora” is a record of one of these sessions, containing 8 energetic compositions that create a concise whole.

The music is dense, loud, boldly expressing all the instrumentalists present on the stage. Interestingly, among the festivals I visited, Ńoko’s music was presented at Warsaw Summer Jazz Days. Their songs would fit equally well, or maybe even better, into the OFF Festival or Open’er, if the event were not ruled by algorithms and influencers. A big plus for the organizers for this idea!” – Jazz Press about the concert as part of the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days
“This is the “Las Vegas Parano” of Tricity music – pulsating rhythm, dense electronics and a lot of free jazz variants make it impossible to tear yourself away from this music.”
