  • Description

    Polonia, the title of the inspirational new album from Katy Carr, is the Latin name for Poland and this is the realm the artist is celebrating in her music and song. As Katy Carr explains, 'A strong brave, sovereignty proud of her freedom fighters and warriors who march to bring justice and peace to troubled times. Part of Katy Carr's intention in making Polonia is to promote the longstanding, deep friendship between Britain and Poland, one threatened by present political and social prejudices. In a broader sense Polonia is a response to hate crimes endured by so many immigrants.

    Polonia, Katy Carr's fifth album, is inspired by an under-developed area of Western historical research: World War II's Eastern Front and the mighty military force of the free-dom fighters of Poland. Carr's songs on Polonia explore those very people who during World War II fought not only for an independent Poland but also for the freedom of the West, especially Great Britain: Poland was not only Britain's only ally for the first two years of the war but her largest military coalition force after the USA at the end of World War II.

    'Carr is a fine example of that much-maligned beast we call Authenticity...never less than immaculate.' - Sunday Times Culture Magazine
