A Meeting with Matan Sumiński and Maja Kawalec – A Concert That Touched Many Hearts.

On Friday evening, November 16, 2024, Matan Sumiński and his musical partner, Maja, held a concert that profoundly impacted everyone in attendance. In an intimate venue, the audience gathered, captivated by the powerful message conveyed through Matan’s music. As the founder of the band Pomoc Duchowa (Spiritual Support), Matan’s performance offered beautiful ballads and a glimpse into the remarkable journey behind his artistry.

Matan Sumiński, renowned for his profound and faith-filled lyrics, shared the story of his artistic path with the audience. He recalled how it all began with his spiritual conversion in 1983—a transformative moment that changed his life forever. From a passionate rock music enthusiast and drummer in amateur bands, he evolved into an artist whose songs express gratitude and love for God.

A turning point in his career came in the 1990s when he was invited to collaborate with a prestigious studio hosting renowned musicians. This opportunity elevated his amateur recordings to a professional level, opening the door to a much wider audience.

The concert was filled with moments of emotion and reflection. Through his storytelling, Matan emphasized the profound impact his music has had on the lives of others. He shared anecdotes about receiving letters from prisoners and individuals in challenging situations who found hope and strength through his songs.

– "Some of the letters I receive are proof that what I do matters," Matan remarked. "Even if my music touches just one heart, it’s worth it."

The musical encounter between Matan, Maja, and their audience also provided a chance to explore his artistic inspirations. Matan’s work blends various styles—from poetic ballads to reggae and the delicate sounds of worship music. He humbly credited his achievements to his faith and God’s guidance.

Matan also shared words of encouragement for young people searching for their path:

– "God is always waiting for each of us. You don’t have to be perfect to come to Him. All it takes is trust and allowing Him to work in your life."

This extraordinary event was not merely a concert but a profound spiritual experience that will stay with its participants long. Matan and Maja demonstrated that music can be more than sound—it can serve as a bridge to hearts and inspire life-changing transformation.

Reporter Aneta Papatolios and her husband Atanasios Papatolios, who served as the cameraman that evening, were honoured to be part of this unforgettable night. They warmly invite everyone to explore Matan Sumiński’s work. His songs can be found on digital platforms and his official website. It’s music that not only captivates but also carries hope and a powerful message.
