Who was Wojciech Belon?
Wojciech Belon, also known as Wojtek Bellon, was a Polish poet, songwriter and folksinger. His best known ballad Majster Bieda and most of his compositions has never been released by government controlled media which at that time was dominated by establishment approved songwriters such as Agnieszka Osiecka, though most college students and Polish youth knew them by heart from amateur tapes recorded at student and tourist festivals and similar musical events in Cracow 1974, Zielona Góra 1985, Busko Zdrój, Tarnów, Gdańsk. And while in Poland you can hear them until this very day as part of the repertoire of many bands. Belon was symbol of youth frustration of the so called lost generation of late sixties, seventies and early eighties, Poland, still his writings were inspiring the way Bob Dylan's songs once in America were. The circumstances of his death in 1985 have never been disclosed.
