The Tofifest IFF would like to invite you to the first concert of this kind in Poland, during which excellent musicians are going to pay tribute to David Bowie, who was a great star of both the stage and screen. The concert will take place, after the Closing Ceremony of Tofifest 2016, and feature the following artists: Brodka, Natalia Przybysz, Skubas, Tymon Tymański, and Tomasz Makowiecki.

David Bowie, one of the most important artists in the history of pop music passed away on 10th January, 2016. The concert that will follow the Closing Ceremony of the 14th edition of the Tofifest IFF, will be the first ever tribute paid by Polish artists to the precursor of many music genres, including: glam rock, art rock, dance pop, punk, and electronic music. However, David Bowie was more, than just music...

According to Kafka Jaworska, director of Tofifest and the originator of the event: “The idea to play a concert in tribute to David Bowie came to me naturally. He was both a talented musician and actor. Therefore, he belonged not only to the world of music, but also to the world of cinema.”

Krzysztof Wachowiak from the NRD Club is the producer of the concert: “I did not need to persuade anybody much, because everybody was more than enthusiastic about the idea.” He also added that Bartek Staszkiewicz, music director of the concert (and also a keyboardist, music producer, and a winner of the Fryderyk Award, together with his band Sofa), offered invaluable help in completing the final line-up.

As it turns out, some artists — e.g. Tymon Tymański and Natalia Przybysz — already had their favourite songs they wanted to perform, because “they had always had them at the back of their minds.” Others spent a lot of time selecting the songs they wanted to sing, since “they had a lot of respect for that Artist,” as they had put it.

The Tribute to David Bowie concert will take place on 22nd October 2016, after the Closing Ceremony of the 14th edition of the Tofifest IFF, at the Cultural and Congress Centre Jordanki in Toruń.
