Kombi

Favorite

Kombi was a successful pop rock music band from Poland, founded in 1976 in Gdańsk by Sławomir Łosowski. In the beginning group played mostly rock music, later their style turned towards synth pop.

The band was known for its characteristic sound, based on state-of-the-art electronic instruments programmed (and often modified) by Łosowski, distinctive vocals and guitar playing by Skawiński and Tkaczyk's bass slapping style.

Kombi was the first Polish band to use Commodore 64 as a MIDI sequencer, Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer, Simmons SDS-V electronic drum kit and Yamaha RX-11 drum machine. They are also the only Polish band (until 2006) to tour the United States three times, bringing all their equipment with them.

In 1992 Grzegorz Skawiński and Waldemar Tkaczyk left the band.
