There has never been such a situation in the history of phonographic competitions at Polish Radio, for one album to receive an award in both competitions at the same time.” – we read on the website of the Radio Folk Culture Center.
Karaim Music Map is awarded the third prize not only in the Folk Phonogram of the Year but also in the Sources Phonogram competition for “publishing (for the first time!) And popularizing the priceless and little-known repertoire presenting the musical tradition of Karaims”.
Jury reviews:

Milan Tesař / WMCE:
