“One of the best of all Europe” – Ronnie Ray, The Coolers “Cielak, you have one hell of a big tone!” – Bob Margolin, Muddy Waters’ Band Michał “Cielak” Kielak was born in 1977. He started playing harmonica when he was 15 years old and today he is one of the best harp players in Poland and – as some specialists say – Europe. Cielak's enormous skills — better than the ones many American harp blowers have — made the legendary Steady Rollin' Bob Margolin — master of the slide guitar who played with Muddy Waters for many years and who is a contributing writer to the world's largest blues publication, Blues Revue — invited Kielak on stage to sit in with him during the annual International Blues Challange in Memphis. After listening to Michal's improvisations, Ronnie Ray — harp player and leader of the famous band, The Coolers — called him “(...) one of the best of all Europe”. All those things are confirmed by concerts with the biggest acts in Polish music, including jazz legend Michal Urbaniak, and critically acclaimed CD releases. On February 18th 2005, the song called “Kasa Chorych” from Michal’s solo album, “Tribute To Ryszard ‘Skiba’ Skibiński”, reached number one at Top 10 Chart in Blues Radio Germany — listeners of the show decided that the song was even better than recordings made by the American soul–blues legend, Mighty Sam McClain!
