They got through to the final top ten of the festival. Their performance was shown on Polsat (one of the most popular Polish tv-channels). They gathered many positive opinions. - If people liked it, we should find musicians to create a band - said Wozz, one of the vocalists. This duet won in the Gazeta Olsztyńska Contest of Young Performers. Before they had completed collecting other members of the band, they appeared also in the eliminations of Students’ Songs Festival in Cracovia. And they won them. Afromental took part in this contest,but, unfortunately, they turned out to be mistaken, because all other bands were singing poems. But it was in Cracovia that they have played for the first time as a complete Afromental, with all its members. At all, they got distinction prize. And that’s the way it started! They kept performing around Poland and working on new projects. After all this, they were chosen from 300 applying bands to perform in the final 6 of Sopot “Top Trendy” Festival. On 12.10.2007 with the mediation of Pomaton EMI they published their first CD called “The Breakthru”. Afromental’s music is fascinating, because of its softness, ligthness, rhythm, professionalism and arrangements. It’s a tremendous mix of soul, r’n’b and hip hop, but in a bit other meaning that Polish people find it, as in Poland hip hop is associated only with boys from gray blocks of flats. | |
