Róbert Lakatos and The Rév: Rave
”While I was playing in Budapest, Paris, New York as a classical musician, in the same period, I also performed as a folk musician in Komárom, Zsigárd, Szék.
Earlier times I often asked myself: Who am I? Am I a classical or a folk musician?
Now I know the answer to this question. I am only a musician who likes beautiful music. I feel the moment has
arrived when the band can talk to their listeners with its intimest sounds. Music is either good or bad.
Artists are either sincere or insincere. Regardless of style or genre.” Róbert Lakatos
Róbert Lakatos and his colleagues discovered the borderlines between folk and classic music on their previous two albums, now on this new record, entitled ”Rave”, they turn to other worlds of music.
Just as in the case of their earlier albums, the editing is exciting, and the freedom of music is outstanding.
This album features authentic Hungarian folk music, tunes with a Balkan touch, and Turkish folk song adaptations as well as a rap song, whose lyrics are actually an old children’s rhyme.
Róbert Lakatos is the founder and organiser of the Primas Parade, a successful musical undertaking.
