The Butcher's Song | Pieśń Rzeźnicka

Running time: 6'

Wild eyes, a dress stained with blood, a knife and an ax in his hands, and after a while a heartless murderer kills innocent victims. And for money! Is this what the ancient butchers were like? The Brotherhood of Singers from Tanowo recreated a guild song from the 19th century, which explains a lot. Hold on tight to your seat and immerse yourself in the terrifyingly real but oh-so-beautiful Butcher's Song. The Butcher's Ballad comes from the Songbook for Industrialists, Nadwiślanin Publishing House, 1895, Gniezno.
