What is „Polish music” in the UK? I – instead of trying to answer directly the above question – shall briey focus on the music-making in Poland, i.e. in the Polish Tatra Mountains (Podhale) by Górale as an informal ritual maintaining this group’s ethnic identity. e direct stimulus for my enquiry in the Podhale region was the discrepancy between two opinions: that Górale music is still very much alive and not contaminated, and a sociological survey claiming that it is „merely a symbol of the past, declining, and revived by articial measures and pressures from »the top«”. For my research of the Górale music (and its comparison with Polish music in London and the UK) I have used some useful propositions from social anthropology, on which I have based my PhD („Musical rites of entertainment among Górale of the Polish Tatra Mountains”, University of London). e strongest inspiration came from Victor Turner – he introduced the interesting concepts of antistructure and creativity among marginal people (geographically and socially), then Eric Hobsbawm demonstrated the so called Invented Tradition. e third is Edward T. Hall and his tripartite division of culture into formal, technical and informal. A¢er presenting some of my conclusions or indeed questions about the situation of Polish Highland music, I will discuss the aforementioned theoretical perspectives in social anthropology, which may inspire a discussion or perhaps further research on the theme of the phenomenon of the „Polish music” in the UK
