Polish-Ukrainian band DAGADANA with live session videoclip to the lyric song Early early morning from Biskupizna Region (part of Wielkopolska Region in Poland). In the story a girl catches her beloved talking to another and makes a jealous scene. She does not know if she can still believe his protestations of true love...
DAGADANA learnt the song from Anna Chuda a singer from Posadowa (Biskupizna Region) at the annual Tabor Wielkopolski (folk music and dance workshop) in Stara Krobia. Its a flirtatious song: the singers walk around the village and sing it to the girls.
Biskupizna is a folkloric micro-region, covering twelve villages around Krobia (near Gostyń). From the 13th century to the 18th the area was owned by the bishops (Polish: biskupi) of Poznań, which gave rise to the name of the micro-region and its inhabitants: Biskupian (male) and Biskupianka (female). Biskupizna still cultivates its folklore.

Magdalena Wojciechowska is the soul behind the stylisation for the videoclip to Early early morning song . The band members are wearing the mix of historical costumes from Biskupizna and Chazy Region (both in Wielkopolska Region).

The main theme of the whole session was the meeting of various cultures - some of them very close to each other, like Polish and Ukrainian, some very distant and exotic, like the Chinese one which has mesmerised the band musicians during their concert tour in Asia.
DAGADANA have been playing together for nine years. Since the very beginning their philosophy has been meeting and sharing art and music with artists from various corners of our planet, as well as being the ambassadors of Polish and Ukrainian culture. The band has already played in 22 countries!
Two operators from Poland and Ukraine were invited to join the works. The whole project was looked after by Visual Heads Company from Poznań and their film director, Artur Przybylski.
The beginning of the year brought great news for the band. Meridian 68, the album recorded in Poland and China together with guest stars from Beijing, Inner Mongolia and Poland, was nominated for Fryderyk Award. It was also the best reviewed Polish album in World Music Charts Europe - a yearly ranking of the best world music albums selected by radio music journalists from whole Europe.
DAGADANA signed a record contract with a Chinese record company 13th Month, as well as with one of the most important European record companies - Jaro Medien (publisher of such stars of the genre as Bulgarian Voices Angelite, Hazmat Modine, Hun-Huur-tu or Warsaw Village Band). Meridian 68 will be published by them at the beginning of 2018 and will be featured during concert tours in Europe and China.
