Dance house gets the spotlight on Fonó Wednesdays!

Every week we invite two guest bands to play dance house music all evening.

Góbé and PásztorHóra bands will play every two weeks for Hungarian string band and Moldavian dance houses. Other bands from Budapest, the countryside and communities outside Hungary’s borders will also play for dancing during the season.

Come with, or without a partner; with or without dance experience!
Everyone is welcome!

Fonó Wednesday – Dance House: Tarsoly zenekar, Budapest Mezőség Band

Formed in 2010, Tarsoly Band is a several-time recipient of the Nívó Award. One of the busiest bands on the Hungarian dance house scene, this year they release their fourth record featuring music from Northeastern Hungary’s Nyírség region recorded especially for dance teaching.

“Our goal is to live with our traditions and to make them known and appreciated by as wide an audience as possible. All of us teach as well and would like to pass on to our students what we have gotten from our masters.”

Members of the band:
Bencze Mátyás – violin
Böröcz Balázs – violas
Hornich Thomas – double bass
Jobbágy Bence – cymbalom
Margetán Máté – winds

Budapest Mezőség Band is a dance house band drawing from several generations of revival musicians. The backbone of their repertoire is the music of Magyarpalatka/ Pălatca (Mezőség region, Transylvania). “The most important link to our folk music is that we play music for dancing. This is what we have done til now and what we shall continue to do, because if this is lost, we lose the roots of the tree, and everything we fell in love with, will fall apart.”

Members of the band:
Kovács Márton, Kalász Máté - violin
Fekete Antal 'Puma', Fekete Márton 'KisPuma' - kontra
Lelkes András – double bass

Tickets: 1000 Ft
