Dyngus Day Buffalo & The Buffalo Touch release the world's FIRST Dyngus Day Polka Party CD
Ever since Buffalo's Chopin Singing Society introduced Polish-American music to their first Dyngus Day celebration on April 3, 1961, dancing to the polka has been synonymous with Buffalo's modern take on an ancient Slavic holiday.
While quirky mating rituals like boys sprinkling water on girls and the playful switching of each other with pussy willow branches signifies rebirth and the rite of cleansing, purification and fertility, a little twirl on the dance floor doesn't hurt either.
As the celebration spreads to cities all across North America, "Flirty Squirty: Dyngus Day Party Hits" is bound to provide the soundtrack for a little "dancin' & romancin'."
Dyngus Day Buffalo has personally selected this collection of polkas performed by Jerry Darlak & the Buffalo to ensure powerful polka music for your very own Dyngus Day party.
Ok, you've got the music, now invite a few friends, offer some Polish beer, Polish vodka, some pierogi & kielbasa and prepare to polka... and remember, "Everybody's Polish On Dyngus Day!"
