Photography and music, two different forms of art united by the same expressive power. It is therefore not surprising that Polaroidwhich has been combining art and technology for 80 years, enters the world of music by launching the project Polaroid Music. An initiative consisting in the launch of a range of Bluetooth speakers and even a dedicated radio: Polaroid Radio.

We are new to the world of music, but we want to bring all possible color and emotion to this sector. We are thrilled with this new chapter in our history, but of course we remain committed as always to instant photography, too, ”he declares Oskar Smolokowski, President of Polaroid.
