LP record of Polish music

[Maria Magenta]

My husband found this record in a charity shop, and it has very little information, no date, for instance. There is nothing about it on Discogs but the label is Pathe and it sounds like a recording from the 1950s or 1960s. Any advice on how to find out something about it, the artists on it, etc. would be great!

Also at the link below - If you click on the "about" field on the left it gives the date as 1961.

TANKOWKA U POLAKOW : N °2 / F. KMIECIK et son orchestre | Gallica

 

[Dinger]

Francois Kmiecik and his orchestra, who have the four tracks on the "B" side of the record seems to have made this style of Polish folk/band music popular in France. There are videos of the orchestra playing on YouTube but they seem to have been set up so that you can't link to them. - If you go direct to YouTube and put in his name you should be able to find them.

The disk's title "Tancowka U Polakow" means "Polish Dancing Party"

Thank you, that's brilliant. We've become slightly obsessed! And Polish Dancing Party is a perfect description
