Skaldowie (namesake: The Skalds) is an art rock band which formed in Kraków, Poland in 1965. With their musical training and proximity to the folklore-rich area of Podhale, many of their tracks incorporate themes of rock, folk, and classical music.^[1]

Skaldowie received numerous national awards between 1966 and 1980, and were one of the most popular musical groups in Poland at the time.^{[citation needed ]}
