Info:
Cinq G (formerly known as Piec Gie or 5G) is an “imageous” Polish band, which sees itself as a “Panamian Boysband” playing “The Worst Ragga in the City”. It’s the first Polish dancehall group ever that released an album and probably the most important Polish representative of that genre (however, they’ve gone further, creating their own genre called P-Ragga by mixing Carraibean rhythms with the sounds of p-funk). This supergroup consists of three “root” members: Polish freestyle legend Duze Pe (MC), multi-instrumentalist-slash-world-famous-young-jazz-pianist Piotr Zabrodzki aka Mista Pita (MC, vocals, kbds, production) and Tomasz Konca aka Radikal Irie (leadership, ideas, guitar, production / executive production) - one of the most influential dancehall promotors in Poland and a guitarist of legendary Polish reggae / funk group Transmisja. During live gigs, the trio mentioned above is supported by a rhythm section consisting of two highly talented (and skilled) musicians: Filip Jurczyszyn aka Erudeigrek (bass) and Hubert Zemler aka Hub-X (drums).
So, what is so special about Cinq G? Well… The exceptional “boysbandous” self-mockery image of the band (you have to see it to believe it), originally delivered and skillfully crafted rhymes of Duze Pe, musical genius of Mista Pita and lots of positive, “montypythonesque” energy and ideas inspired by Radikal Irie. It’s well more than enough. The band have released its debut album “P.

AdiBwoy @TaranisAlcarin: Yup, pronunciation was the main reason they changed name from 'Cinq G' to 'Senk Że'. Now it's easier for polish people to say their name :D (Cinq G is french phrase, and, for polish people, who wasn't their fans, it was making a lot of problems to say or write it correctly). Check out also YouTube, you'll find there a lot of their tunes uploaded by fans :) Today was rather cloudy and colder than in the past few days in Poland. Last week was really sunny and warm, and all snow melted. But seems like it will start to snowing and freezing again soon :) I'm glad I could help. If you'll want to know anything else, just ask :)

@TaranisAlcarin: I guess you mean the album about the Warsaw Uprising? There's only one Cinq G's song on that CD (also last song from this album is singing by two members of Cinq G), and I don't think this will be enough ;) (both are covers of old songs from times of Uprising). You can check out two songs from their latest album on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/senk_ze (btw, their name is Senk Że now. It's a polish phonetic version of words 'Cinq G'). And, well, it's not exactly hip-hop ;) It's a mix of raggamufin, dancehall, reggae, and p-funk. Other different styles included. All mixed into one unique style - p-ragga :)

@AdiBwoy: Thank you!! Actually here exists just 10 copies of the album. I hope is enough to show this kind of music in my country XD I´m not a fan of hip-hop but I think is really great, to discover new music styles from all the world. :D

@TaranisAlcarin: Wow, so they're going to be famous in Mexico now? That's an awsome news! :D Unfortunately all their songs are in polish, but that gives them a lot of oportiunities to play with words and lyrics, which is part of their crazy style ;) If you want to know anything about them, just send me a private message, I'll be happy to help you :)
