Bogna’s original music reflects the inspiration she has received from engaging the world, musical and otherwise, around her. Besides its obvious jazz roots, Bogna’s writing seamlessly incorporates elements of folk music from Poland and Latin America, soul and Western classical music in an especially indelible way. Her organic embracement of such diverse musical styles creates a music where every song or arrangement presents a fresh array of harmonic and rhythmic elements.
