ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Vocalist Alice Zawadzki, Bass player Misha Mullov-Abbado and pianist Fred Thomas are Za Gorami – a trio, based in England, playing music collected from their travels – music that are folk tales speaking to the moon, the mountains, the rain, the madness of humans and the prophecies of birds’. The trio’s name – Za Gorami – is Polish for “Behind The Mountain”
Hear Alice and Misha chat about their musical lives, the folk tunes that they have found across the globe – many from countries that reflect their ancestries, and many given to them by their friends from many countries.
Alice talks about being inspired by a Jazz Vocalist Lillian Boutte when Alice was young which led Alice to her career in music.
Za Gorami perform at the David Li Sound Gallery at Monash University in Clayton on Thuersday October 8, 2026, as well as touching down in Sydney (Oct 4), Tuggeranong (Oct 6), Adelaide Hills (Oct 10) and Perth (Oct 12) during their Australian Tour.
