Acoustic music for human beings

Claimants to the throne on the Hungarian and international world music scene, they will draw the borders of the genre for the 21st century.
Ötödik évszak’s [5th season’s] first recording has met the challenges: it offers positive, playful, acoustic city music with folk music instrumentation that lingers on the Budapest-Paris cultural axis. Lyrical melodies from the multi-ethnic Carpathian Basin and popular poetry by József Attila, Szép Ernő, Csoóri Sándor and Victor Hugo become a unified fabric on the album. Use of the Hungarian and French languages adds spice, color and the atmosphere of walks along the Seine or Hungary’s meandering Tisza River - their music speaks to and tames audiences.

The musicians are well-known from many years with other Hungarian formations (Lajkó Félix, BudafolkBand, Dresch String Quartet, Hungarian State Folk ensemble). Members of the band: Hegedűs, Máté (violin), Csoóri, Sándor “Sündi” (viola, tambura, coboz, voice), Zimber, Ferenc (cymbalom), Szabó Csobán, Gergő (double bass, voice). French-Hungarian singer Izabelle Caussanel brings her unique world to the music’s style.
