About

Czerwone Gitary ("The Red Guitars") is a Polish rock band founded on 3 January 1965 in Gdańsk, widely regarded as one of the most important acts in the history of Polish popular music. Dubbed the "Polish Beatles" by the press of the era, they sold record numbers of albums in the late 1960s and received the MIDEM award in Cannes in 1969 - the same year as the Beatles. After a long hiatus through the 1980s the band reformed in 1991 and has been touring Poland and the Polish diaspora abroad ever since.
