Dyngus Day Buffalo's combination of time-honored traditions, polkas, food and playful spirit is truly unique among American cities,” explains nationally recognized polka performer Lenny Gomulka. “All these elements are behind our newly recorded polka celebrating Easter Monday.” Lenny Gomulka is regarded as one of the nation’s premiere polka stars with 11 Grammy Award nominations to his name. At the age of thirty-seven, Gomulka was elected by his peers to be enshrined into the International Polka Music Hall of Fame.  He has written dozens of songs that have become classics and he is the creator of the Official State Polka of Massachusetts as declared by that state’s Governor in 1998. The "Dyngus Day in Buffalo Polka" will be officially released on a new CD with Lenny Gomulka & Chicago Push called "As Sweet As Candy." Push Records expects a public release late May.

"In my travels and performances throughout the United States I have enjoyed the excitement of Dyngus Day in several cities and towns, however, no where is this holiday celebrated unilaterally and dynamically as it is in Buffalo, New York. The Nickel City is indeed the Dyngus Day Capital of the World...no doubt!"

There will be a new sound to Dyngus Day 2006 in Buffalo, New York. Two time Grammy Award nominated Polka Band Jerry Darlak & the Touch have completed recording the “Everybody’s Polish on Dyngus Day” polka just in time for one of America’s biggest Polish-American celebrations. “The polka is meant to capture the uniqueness of the Buffalo Dyngus Day celebration,” explains the song’s composer Ray Barsukiewicz. “Lyrics include references to pussy willows, the sprinkling of water, polka dancing and parties that last until daylight. Members of the Touch hope that the song is forever linked with Buffalo’s Dyngus tradition.”
