Today Is Memory Day Of Great Czesław Niemen

The famous Polish musician had Belarusian roots.

The famous singer and composer was born in Hrodna region in the village of Staryje Vasilishki on February 16, 1939.

And for the first time he sang in the church choir here, in Belarus. When the future star was not even twenty, the family moved to Poland, but, in memory of the Motherland, Czeslaw Widzicki started to perform under the nickname Niemen, because he grew up by the Nioman River.

He became a rock legend of the 70's, Czesław Niemen's songs were performed even by Marlene Dietrich, and the singer's concerts were held in Germany, the Czech Republic, Russia and France. The Poles are proud of their musician, but remember that he was born and grew up in Belarus. Every year, his fans organize Czesław Niemen's memorial evenings in our country, and there is his house-museum in the village of Staryje Vasilishki.
