Music of Magda Piskorczyk is her tasteful arrangements of funk, blues, gospel, soul, rock and jazz classics, as well as her original compositions. Despite her music being deeply set in the African-American tradition, it is very personal and innovative at the same time. Joy and humour, great emotions and energy are mixed with deep messages, melancholy and moving sincerity. An unusual, very expressive vocal performance and perfectly matched sounds of guitars, a Hammond organ, a saxophone, percussion or other instruments make this music unique and captivating. Magda is known for her excellent connection with the audience, leading them to collective singing, emotional shouting, hand clapping, snapping their fingers and general joyful involvement in the performance, as well as deep reflection. She has performed with many famous musicians, such as Bob Margolin, Bob Brozman, Seckou Keita, Greg Zlap, Rita Engedalen, Slidin’ Slim and Engerling group. In Summer 2010 she gave 22 concerts with harmonica virtuoso, Blues Award Winner Billy Gibson.
