Polish songs by foreign artists

One more time about Polish music :)
When you hear 'cover', you'll likely think about popular English songs. However, there are also Polish covers which were sang very well.

Maria Burmaka
This pretty Ukrainian composed the whole album in Polish. In lyrics there are some mistakes, e.g. 'wino przebrodziło' or 'kluczem swym krętnołam' ;)
But the music... I can listen to it all the day :3
A lot of her songs are covers of her own Ukrainian songs, for example  'Kto taka jestem' is a cover of 'Хто я така є' ('Chto ja taka je').



Laibach 
It is a band from Slovenia. They sang a song 'Warszawskie dzieci', which is a popular song of soldiers. The album which included this song was produced thanks to money of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego), for 70. anniversary of Warsaw Uprising.



Joryj Kłoc
The last song is much more positive ;) Or I'd rather say - crazy. This song of Ukrainian band Joryj Kłoc is about traditional wedding. The end of the video clip is quite unexpected, so you should see it to the end.
This is a cover of folk Polish song from Tarnobrzeg, which is sing before a bride goes to a groom's house.
Joryj Kłoc is band which usually sings old Ukrainian songs, but in a modern way - they use electric guitars, drums etc. Unfortunately, they aren't very popular, so it's difficult to find more information about this band.
