Stare Dobre Małżeństwo (SDM), which translates to "Good Old Marriage," is a beloved Polish music group that stands as a titan in the realm of Polish folk and bard music. Formed in 1985 by Krzysztof Myszkowski, the band has garnered a dedicated following over the decades through their melodic storytelling and commitment to weaving poetic lyrics with acoustic instrumentation. Their style is deeply rooted in the tradition of sung poetry—sometimes referred to as the "bard movement" in Poland—which focuses on the lyrical expression of emotions and storytelling, often touching on themes of love, melancholy, and philosophical musings on life.

With a discography that has grown steadily since their inception, Stare Dobre Małżeństwo has nurtured a rich musical legacy characterized by thoughtful compositions and a unique fusion of folk, rock, and the acoustic singer-songwriter tradition. Their recent releases, including "Studniówka 1981," "Bogiem a prawdą," and "Schronisko Aniołów," showcase their ability to evolve while remaining true to the essence of their beginnings. Their albums "Memorabilia I" and "Memorabilia II," as well as "Kompresja Ciszy," serve as a testament to their enduring influence and sustained creativity, ensuring their place in the hearts of Polish listeners and in the annals of the country's rich musical tapestry.
