Sistars

Sistars is a Polish hip-hop/R'n'B band founded in 2001 (the line-up was completed at the end of 2002, when Przemyslaw Maciolek joined). Their style also incorporates elements of funk and soul. Sistars were put on the map through a guest performance in a song called Zeszyt rymow (The Rhyme Sketchbook) by Polish rapper Tede. On 15th March, 2003 came their debut album, Sila siostr (Sister Power) with guest appearances by O.S.T.R., Tede, Ania Szarmach and others. The album was promoted by the single "Spadaj" ("Sod off") along with a video clip. The year 2004 was highly successful for the group, beginning with the release of the Sistars EP and following an immediate success thanks to the single, "Sutra". These events won the group numerous awards in the Polish music business (e.g. ESKA Music Award - "Best Debut"; the Audience Award and the Grand Prix at the Opole 2004 Music Festival). In 2005, Sistars released their second album, A.E.I.O.U. which confirmed their significant position on the Polish R'n'B/hip-hop scene (e.g. three Fryderyk Awards; ESKA Music Award - "Best Band"). Sistars also won the MTV Europe Music Award for the "Best Polish Act" two years in a row (2004, 2005).
