The Song and Dance Ensemble “Zamojszczyzna” is accompanied by a folk band comprised of 7 musicians. The basic line-up of the band is: two violins, a contrabass, a clarinet, a trumpet, an accordion, a drum. The band also accompanies the ensemble during events not held on stage – it plays during the folk nights organized during the Eurofolk festival, weddings of ensemble members and social gatherings. There are some people here, without whom Zamojszczyzna could not exist and vice-versa.
