Miklós Both and The Palimo Story
Palimo Story is one of the most imporant undertakings in the world of Hungarian music.
It is the brainchild of Miklós Both and Sándor Csoóri Jr. ’Sündi’, members of Buda Folk Band.
In the Autumn of 2013 they embarked on a talent search, looking for talented musicians not known outside their neighbourhood. They travelled more than 10.000 kilometres mainly visiting Gipsy communities in the less developed parts of the country.
At the end ten musicians were chosen (seven of them are selfeducated Gipsies), who learnt the songs composed by Miklós Both. These musicians are from Salgótarján, Mohács, Dávod, the Jász region, Pécs, and Kápolna.
A new style was born, which blends tunes from all musical cultures in Hungarian cities and villages. ”Another hidden message of this undertaking is the fact that in a modern scoring the folk tradition of the Carpathian Basin could remain archaic
and become contemporary at the same time!”- said Sándor Csoóri Jr. ’Sündi’
