"Elemér Balázs is one of Hungary's best known jazz drummers. Three years ago he invited six of his colleagues, all fine musicians in their own right, to form the Elemér Balázs Group, and they have become a highly acclaimed band by now... The Group has been touring Hungary extensively, and they are regularly invited to festivals not only in their home country but abroad as well. ... The group is striving to create their own sound characterised mainly by the contrast of the female and male voices. In their music they mix ethnic songs with original compositions."
"Elemér Balázs is one of the best drummers around right now, in my opinion. He plays with such musicality and finesse and has the ability to listen inside each musical moment with the kind of spontaneous decision - making that allows everyone that plays with him to sound their best. He also has a wonderful touch on the instrument - I always enjoy the chance to play with him and to hear him."

Thank you so much!
I was doing some research on the NET as my soul genuinely needs new sounds, new colours, different roots and landscapes, so I kept trying to find something from Hungary that would captivate my senses. Elemér Balázs Group's music has definitely done that to me.
I am extremely grateful to them for creating such beatiful, marvellous music and to you for sharing it.
It is great that you are proud of your Hungarian heritage and that you promote it. You have no idea of how much you are contributing through that.
Cheers!
Luis Ernesto
