Zűrös Banda: 2021

It has been five years since the band released its first recording – which immediately appeared on World Music Charts Europe‘s top list. This year they had time to put another record together – the material for which had already ripened in concert and rehearsals. Zűrös Banda’s new album highlights arrangements of Hungarian folk songs, their own Hungarian language compositions keeping the Balkan connection and the virtuoso, heartfelt playing style, as well as the attention they pay to one another.

The band has written about themselves: “What was important when founding the band, besides our several years of friendship, was a common passion for Hungarian and modern Balkan music.”

The themes and melodies of folk songs (Hungarian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Romanian) are performed according to style supported by more modern rhythm and sung mainly in Hungarian by Básits Branka.

The record is available at the Fonó’s web shop, other distributors and soon in digital form.
