Lombard is a Polish pop-rock band founded in 1981. Lombard has recorded many albums with well-known and well-liked hits, held thousands of concerts gathering masses of audience. The invariable leader of Lombard is Grzegorz Strózniak, the composer of all the band’s greatest hits as well as most other tracks. Many of the hits were produced in the 1980s and often resulted from Strózniak's cooperation with the band's female vocalist at that time, Malgorzata Ostrowska. Strózniak is also the only owner of the band’s name and the continuator of Lombard’s tradition. In 1999 Marta Cugier became Lombard’s vocalist.
