Maanam (Tamil for respect or dignity) is a popular^{[original research?]} Polish rock band.^{[citation needed]}

History

Maanam was formed by Marek Jackowski, Kora (Olga Jackowska), and Milo Kurtis (b. 1951) in 1976. Originally an acoustic outfit, the band went electric in 1980, and since then has recorded some of the best-selling^{[clarification needed]} singles and albums in Poland over the past^[when?] 25 years.^{[citation needed]}

During the first half of the 1980s, Maanam featured an energetic, guitar-centred post-punk sound. Kora's vocal gymnastics were an example of iconoclastic international female pop vocalists of the time, and showcased the consonant-laden Polish language as one perfectly suited to rock sounds. In 1988, Maanam's "Sie ściemnia" became the first Polish music video to air on the international MTV. Maanam's sound in the 1980s could be considered a cross between Nina Hagen, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Blondie.^{[original research?]}^{[citation needed]}

In the 1990s, Maanam acquired a more melodic, and equally catchy, sound.^{[original research?]}^{[citation needed]}

In 2007, Marek and Olga (Kora) announced the suspension of the band for an indefinite period of time. The two have since been performing with other musicians.^[1]

Guitarist Janusz Iwański played^[when?] with the group for some time.^{[clarification needed]}^{[citation needed]}
