Long time ago, in XV century our beloved city Lviv was a part of Poland and not so far from it city of Krakow is situated, the polish capital at the moment, so we share the same history and culture. That’s why we decided to peek the oldest known song of Krakow students “Breve regnum” from the XV century. It is fun, energetic and known very little in the world.
Our video is at stage of editing and post-production right now, everything has been shot last autumn and now the finishing touches are made, video is being edited, XV century style pictures been drawn, etc. In general we’ve been trying to accomplish this by our means and with help of our friends.

New song in Kings & Beggars interpretation - Al'entrada Del Temps Clar!

Despite the hymnal refrain of eya this 12 century troubadour song is strongly pagan in origin, suggesting Roman or Celtic rites of May or Beltane, and also showing the power of youth, joy, and the feminine earth force. The entire ballad with its celebration of the Queen of April reveals the mytheme which is integral to the seasonal rituals that mark the beginning of Summer, a l'entrada del temps clar, the entrance of the Season of Shining.

29 of June Kings & Beggars will visit Lithuania and will play on Jotvos Vartai festival!

We present to your attention our new record! Breve Regnum anon. – the oldest known song of Krakow students from XV ct., which was sung during the election of their "King" and his court (15 - 22 of October). It is about the life of students and how seven days they having parties, skip lectures and then, later their "King" will be the one to blame for all of students deeds and will be punished. Such custom is also known in Germany, France, the Czech Republic, as a continuation of the Roman Saturnalia. Manuscript was first mentioned in 1973, and the original is kept in the National Library of Warsaw.
