Man with the Golden Ear 2026 stop

Ziemowit Kosmowski. A musician from Łódź who helped forge Polish punk rock and new wave, rather than merely listening to them. The voice of the bands Brak and Rendez-Vous. One of those thanks to whom Polish alternative music has a history at all.

He started out when going against the grain was a choice, not a poser. Phantom, Brak, Rendez-Vous – successive chapters of the same, uncompromising story. He never let himself be labelled. He never cashed in on his fame. He always kept exploring.

Today, in the duo K-2 with Agata Poremba-Kosmowska, he proves that rebellion doesn’t need electricity to strike like lightning. Acoustic songs full of sarcasm and hope. The album “Ciężkie PUDŁO” is proof that true talent knows no age or genre.

This is not a prize for the past. It is recognition for an artist who still thinks differently. Who, after decades on stage, still has something to say – and says it his own way.

Man with the Golden Ear 2026. In the city that shaped him.
