The Karol Stoch Band

about

Mountain music has a soul of its own, no matter where the mountains might be. Centuries ago, fiddlers in southern Poland's isolated Tarta Mountains developed a singularly rough, though sophisticated, dance and vocal music of their own. Some of these musical highlanders were shepherds whose fiddles were carried from the villages to the mountain peaks each spring, where the shepherds played for themselves as their sheep grew fat. Karol Stoch was an exceptional Tatra Mountain fiddler who migrated to Chicago in 1926. Soon he was making the records which would preserve traditional highlander music for generations to come. His performances have since been cherished studied and emulated from is time to our own. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
