Napfonat

Unity, circle, polyphony, rhythm, harmony, mindfulness, depth, subtle and varied womanhood…

Napfonat (transl.: Sun-braid), female a cappella band (HU) was formed in early spring 2018, by young women connected by the love of singing and sharing joy of the soul. Napfonat adapts the folk songs of different cultures and ethnicities and transforms them into unique polyphonic arrangements. The young and dynamic female a cappella band (members of which come from different cultural backgrounds) present their own compositions and arrangements of traditional Hungarian, Slovak, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Gypsy folk songs to wide festival audiences, strengthening the awareness of togetherness and cross-cultural dialogue, as well as the immense soulful and healing power of the human voice.

Napfonat band members/singers: Krisztina Farkas (Volkova) (Russian roots), Henrietta Szalay (Hungarian, raised and educated in Slovakia and Czech Republic), Anita Szarka (coming from Transylvania), Eszter Tóth (Hungarian) and Orsi Tóth (Hungarian).

Meszecsinka

Meszecsinka is amongst Hungary’s best world music groups. The band was formed in 2009 by Oláh Annamari (voice) and Biljarszki Emil (piano, guitar). The name Meszecsinka (meaning ‘little moon’) comes from a Bulgarian folk song. Meszecsinka sings in seven languages, is from four countries (Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Croatia) and is headed for Wonderland where Hungarian and Bulgarian folklore live together with flamenco, psychedelic rock, the Oriental and experimental. They have toured all over Europe, played in the USA and Canada, filmed a clip in Red Square and a road movie in the Balkans.
