Bark is dead – Music

After the divorce, Kora had a difficult time in her life. Alone, surrounded by greedy managers and drunken musicians, she must raise two sons. She was in a tragic psychological state, she was really interested only in the care of the children. Jackowski was on the brink of life and death, sinking into the abyss of alcoholism. In the end, the singer left her eldest son in Krakow, and with the youngest she moved to Warsaw to live with her father.

She met Kamil Sipowicz much earlier. She was 23 years old and was 21 years old. It was decided by chance. She moved with Marek to the same building where he lived with his mother. They began to get closer – and word by word, gesture to gesture, they fell in love with each other. Because Kamil still had her head in the clouds at the time, Kora decided that she should recognize the fruit of their relationship as a Jackowski child. And they parted for many years, even though their paths intersected from time to time. They did not meet until the second half of the 1980s. And then Sipowicz was a completely different man: mature, reasonable, caring. He took care of Kora and his children, then took charge of Maanam's interests. They settled together only after the death of his mother, who did not accept this relationship. They stayed together for many years, creating an inseparable pair.

There are many indications that Kamil has a huge impact on Kora. He was a child of a hippie counterculture. A supporter of drugs, a fierce enemy of the Church, a fascination of Eastern philosophies, an extreme individualist, rejecting the traditional morality of the Decalogue. No wonder Kora quickly picked up on these points of view. Probably because they were and his loved ones – because of their own past in the hippie movement. Sometimes it went too far – especially when they both started supporting post-communists, or when they supported their support for the Palikot Movement. Sometimes there were grotesque situations, such as when the police took a package of marijuana, that the recipient was supposed to be … Kory's dog. The singer then used her links in the world of politics to complete the affair. Thus, according to many, she discredited her past achievements. But who of us does not make mistakes in life?

Still alone

Many explains Kora's childhood. So everyone knew her under her real name – Olga. He remembers his father reluctantly. He wrote of him that he was a handsome and rich boy, favored by women who did not get used to living in tandem. Perhaps he explains by the traumatic experiences of the occupation? As commander of the pre-war police, he was arrested and deported by the Soviets, and his wife died in exile. He was married a second time, but he was unable to keep his family. The burden of his maintenance fell on his mother. When she became ill with tuberculosis, five children were sent to orphanages

Olga went to Jordanów, where the center was headed by the sister's gifts. She remembers the five years that she spent there as a nightmare – she later said with disgust that the nuns were mentally and physically abusing her and other children. When she was a teenager, she wanted revenge for the gifts, but she gave up, considering that they behaved this way because "they had to be horribly unhappy and this misfortune had invaded the children." One of them probably tried to contact her later – but Kora did not want this meeting. When my father died, the girl returned to Krakow from the orphanage. The mother, however, did not survive long. The brothers, in turn, fell into alcoholism and slowly turned their lives into nightmares.

"If anyone asks me today if I do not want to have any more year, I never talk in my life … The first thing that comes to me is that I do not want to have a year. mind when I think about my youth, it's loneliness, I was alone.I am a black, creating a world myself My childhood is an orphanage, a hospital, a dormitory, a shelter for an aunt or an escape. "

No wonder a lonely and desperate teenager is looking for a homestay. She found her among the hippies of Krakow. Fate wanted the center of this movement to be in Krakow. The girl quickly impregnated herself with a transplanted counterculture from America: she scoured the Planty, sat down on the market square, scoured Poland for "gold." ", Took amphetamine, smoked hashish and felt the powder Tri. Then she also knew her first love. One of them was "Pies", the current politician of the Polish right, with whom she had a turbulent affair. Then she remembered those moments as the greatest period of her youth. He was also mythified by Sipowicz in his famous book on hippie communists. Whoever observed this movement aside, remembers that it was not as colorful on the Vistula as it may seem after injecting the "compote" – the Polish hippies were gray, dirty and stoned.

In the first phase of the movement However, many important artists. Kantor, Bereś, Dymny, Niemczyński, Marek, then Piwnica pod Baranami. Being under their influence, Kora began to reach for Witkacy, Gombrowicz, Schulz, Camus, Sartre, and read a lot of poetry. This has developed his vivid imagination, which has sparked the reading of his children in Jordanów. It is no wonder that she herself took the pen

"Actually, I have not been out of the house for a week, we hacked, listened to music, looked at pictures and wrote … We opened the door a long time ago (…) I felt lost and had to regain control of my life

The suicide attempt ended with a break with drugs, but hippie times left an indelible mark on Kory's psyche. if she later put on a punk costume, she became a hippie for the rest of her life.Of course, Maanam's success meant that she could live at a high level, suspending some counter-cultural ideas of the past, but she was constantly focused on herself, her inner self, her own emotions and experiences.Has it given her happiness? Not necessarily .Although she did not want to talk loudly, it was said unofficially that she was suffering from a profound depression For years now, she has bravely fought cancer. The end of this fight is Saturday, July 28, 2018.
