Balogh Kálmán & Gipsy Cimbalom Band featuring BRANKA

Gipsy Cimbalom Band is six outstanding musicians’ experiment with melding Roma music, jazz, flamenco, swing, ragtime and klezmer. The result is an unusual world of music which includes a number of European countries where Gypsies play folk music, jazz or any other kind of music for entertainment. This also means the music can be instrumental or vocal. Though the music focuses around Balogh Kálmán’s cymbalom , all the other instruments are highlighted as well.

The Hungarian-Serbian singer Básits Branka has also joined the band, and with her presence other paths open up. In addition to Hungarian and Serbian folk songs, she is also an authentic performer of other Balkan music. Her passionate and individual performance style immediately draws an audience in.

PutriPop

PutriPop is a world music concept with its own world of sound that comes across both on stage and on their recordings.
PutriPop blends traditional melodies with Transylvanian Gypsy music, maintaining the original song text, while also allowing their own song texts to be created. The traditional string trio is paired with button and piano accordions making easy flowing violin and song centered folklore.

Zűrös Banda

Members of this band were recruited from anumber of prominent Hungarian folk and world music bands. They had already been friends for years, but most importantly they were all fans of Hungarian and modern Balkan music.
Their first recording, released by the Fonó in 2015, immediately caught international attention when World Music Charts Europe listed it amongst the best albums.

Their music features authentic renditions of Hungarian, Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian folk themes and songs, supporting the beautiful melodies with a more modern sounding rhythm section. At Zűrös concerts you’ll hear both emotional songs and energetic dance music.
