Singer Veronika Harcsa and guitarist Bálint Gyémánt were classmates in the jazz department of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. One continued his studies in Brussels and the other in Oslo, yet they managed to become partners in music.  Their collaboration has been so successful that they have released eight records and performed at festivals and club concerts in twenty-five countries around the world.

In recent years, their acoustic duo has become their most important joint formation, and although their latest album,"Shapeshifter", was recorded in a quartet with two Belgian musicians, the core of their work together remains the duo.

They achieve their most complete sound with just a single guitar and vocals. Their songs, inspired by their personal lives, show depth, liberation and humor.... a unique encounter of contemporary jazz and improvisational popular music.

21:30 Terra Profonda

Terra Profonda was formed in Budapest in 2012. Since then they have become regulars on Hungarian concert and festival stages, while performing abroad as well. They have toured as the warm-up act for Ripoff Raskolnikov Band. In 2018 they played at the Eurosonic festival in the Netherlands.

Terra Profonda ’s compositions include rhythm and blues with avant-garde solutions as well as beautiful folk ballads and songs for burying tormented love. Sultry, emotional, dramatic compositions break away from the traditional world of sound and methods of composition. In their music, saxophone and Irish bouzouki, bass guitar and coboz mature into a unified sound. In the unusual instrumentation of their songs we witness meetings of Ali Farka Touré and Tom Waits, or Muzsikás and Woven Hand drinking to the health of Van Zandt. The intense and intimate presence of their Sicilian front man, their shamanistic power and sensitivity turn each performance into a ritual. Through Vincenzo’s husky, warm baritone they pierce the nights of sailors torn by love; frightened horses; scarred, wild wanderers; bad, discredited fathers/husbands - which like butterflies on a painter’s canvas are all drawn together into Terra Profonda’s world.
