Polish foxtrot 1934: Chór Juranda & Ork. Arkadi Flato - Andriusza [Andriusha]

Chór Juranda & Ork. Odeon pod dyr. Arkadi Flato – Andriusza [Andriusha] fokstrot (Białostocki – Starski), Odeon 1934 (Polish) NOTE: In the USA and Europe in the late 1920s and early 1930s through the 1940s and 1950s, male vocal quartets or quintets were extremely popular, replaced in the 1960s and later the beat & rock groups (such as The Beatles and others). Among such singing troubadours of the interwar period, the most popular were The Revelers and Mills Bros in the USA, and in Europe the German group Comedian Harmonists. In Poland in the 1930s, there were several such male ensembles, the most popular of which was the Dana Choir founded in 1929 ex aequo with the Jurand Choir, established a little later. Both ensembles sang and performed until the outbreak of the Second World War. After the war, with a changed line-up, they performed for a few more years under a different name: Chór 4 Asy (formerly Chór Dana) and Chór Czejanda (formerly Chór Juranda). Here is one of the hot pre-war dance sides of the Jurand Choir “Andriusha“ - a very popular so-called “Russian foxtrot“ in quotes, for it was written by two Polish authors. The song is accompanied by a set of truly great advertising posters and shots of some of the Andriushas from Tsarist Russia.
