In 1977, the Polish singer Maryla Rodovich made a splash at the song festival in Sopot. The contestant entered the stage in a clown costume. The girl had a drum behind her, and a bright bird sat on her shoulder. But not only the singer won the attention of the public in an extravagant way. Her catchy song "Colorful Fairs" became a hit for a long time.
Maria Antonina Rodovich admitted in an interview that she is not sad about the past, striving to be realized in the present. The performer confidently keeps pace with the times.
Take off to the top

Maryla spent most of her childhood in her small homeland, and graduated from high school in Wroclaw. The graduate continued her education at the Academy of Physical Education.
The student clearly demonstrated musical talent in childhood. She played the guitar superbly, sang well. Rodovich was a soloist in the university ensemble "Sheytany", became the winner of the student song competition in Krakow.
His professional career began in the 1960s. Each song performed by a charismatic blonde gained popularity. The composition "Colorful Fairs" brought her real fame. The premiere of the song took place in Sopot.
Marylya herself feared that the audience would not accept the composition because of the shocking image, but everything went well. Fans approved Rodovich's version of Vysotsky's "Finicky Horses" in 1987 and praised her duet with Joe Dassin.
Professional career

For seven years, the celebrity lived in an alliance with the director of the STU Theater Krzysztof Jasinski. A son, Jan, appeared in the family in 1979, and a daughter, Katarzyna, was born in 1982. The birth of babies did not contribute to the strengthening of the marriage.
