"Moja i Twoja Nadzieja" ("My and Your Hope") by the band Hey became an anthem of strength for Poles during the major flood of 1997.
In a gesture of solidarity with the victims of the recent natural disaster that struck the southern and western regions of Poland, top Polish artists have come together to record a new version of the song.
The joint recording, featuring many of the same artists from nearly three decades ago, was created at the Agnieszka Osiecka Studio in Polish Radio, as part of the #RazemDlaWas ("Together For You") campaign initiated by Telewizja Polska (Polish Television).
Among the artists participating are not only veterans like Kasia Nosowska, Edyta Bartosiewicz, and Natalia Kukulska, who were involved in the original recording, but also representatives of a younger generation of Polish music stars, including Kamil Bednarek, Tomson and Baron, Mela Koteluk, Natalia Szroeder, Natalia Przybysz, Reni Jusis, Sebastian Karpiel-Bułecka, Kayah, Andrzej Piaseczny, and many others.
According to the latest reports, in the southern and western cities of Poland hit by the flood, cleanup efforts are underway, with volunteers, soldiers, and firefighters assisting those affected.
Despite some progress, streets remain damaged, piles of ruined furniture and debris line the buildings, and drying out the soaked walls could take weeks, depending on weather conditions and available equipment.
