Heveder Concert and Dance House - Guest: Rémusz Eötvös

The Heveder Band and Rémusz Eötvös are back at Fonó! Heveder is one of the best-known bands in Transylvania. The group was founded in Sfântu Gheorghe in 2002 as the accompanying band of the Háromszék Dance Ensemble. They adopted the name Heveder in August 2008 and recorded their first full-length album in 2009. Their repertoire mainly features Hungarian, Romanian, and Roma melodies from Transylvania.

Rémusz Eötvös is an outstanding representative of the Roma traditions of Őrkő, as well as an exceptional singer and dancer. He received a special award in the 2017 season of Fölszállott a páva, the Hungarian televised folk music and dance competition. The musicians have shared the stage on several occasions, and this time they are coming together at Fonó for what promises to be a truly exhilarating, high-energy concert!

After the concert, the evening continues in two rooms with two separate dance houses, running until 3 a.m.! The Heveder Band will provide the music for a Transylvanian dance house, while Tindia will lead a Moldavian dance house for everyone eager to dance.

Tindia Dance House

The Tindia Band began its journey in 2015 at a popular pub in Budapest, where it regularly hosted Moldavian dance houses and folk pub nights. Now celebrating its eleventh anniversary, the band has evolved considerably over the years. Rooted in the space between folk and world music, its sound is brought to life by the strong female energy within the group, freely expressed humor, and the untamed momentum of the dance house. The band's line-up is a rarity in the Hungarian folk music scene: five women and one man come together to create a distinctive atmosphere, sensitivity, and dynamic in their music. Drawing primarily on Moldavian folk music, they reshape traditional material through their own sound and arrangements. The essence of this approach can be heard on their two full-length albums and their subsequent singles.

One of the most special qualities of Moldavian dances lies in the sense of community they create. Anyone can easily join in, as the simple, repetitive steps require no previous dance experience. Dancing in a circle, with hands joined, symbolizes unity and belonging: there are no leading characters here, everyone is an equal part of the community. Dancing together is therefore not only a liberating source of joy, but also a genuine way to connect with one another and with our traditions.
