With her quintet, Beáta Palya - the singer of the hit "Tchiki Tchiki "on Transylvania OST (movie by Tony Gatlif) presents her new album, "Adieu les Complexes". Stuart Bruce, who worked with Susheela Raman, Paco de Lucia and Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn, helped the musicians and the lead singer to find their particular voice. Interpreter of old Hungarian, Moldavian and sefardic thems, Beáta Palya also writes her own inners lyrics.
Bea sings in Hungarian of course, but also in English : two jazzy covers "Lover Man" and "Sometimes I'm Happy" with Sarah Vaughan.
"Adieu les complexes - énekli Boris Vian egyik dalában.
Ez tetszett nekem. Franciául van, de mindenki érti. Egyetemes.
Az alkotásnak egyetlen kulcsa van, hogy kidobjuk a "ki mit gondol" gátjait.
Szívből, szabadon, vadul, komplexusok nélkül.
Arra vágyom, hogy a zenémet ne egzotikumként hallgassák, hanem olyannak, amilyen.
A dalok szövegeit saját, vagy magyar, zsidó, cigány, bolgár dallamokra írtam, és van két angol dal is. A hangzás sokszor népzenei világokat idéz, de gátlástalanul kisajátítottam ezeket a gyönyörű zenéket, mert ennek a munkának a személyes vonatkozása a legfontosabb. Eléneklem, mi van velem, szerelem, magány, utazás, csak mindig változó formában. Továbbadom, mert egyedül ennek a továbbadásnak van értelme."

In Autumn 2002, to prevent Rome's Apollo Cinema from becoming a huge bingo hall, resident musicians aligned with local artists to create a workshop of writing, music and film. Agostino Ferrente and Mario Tronco founded L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio (named after a square in central Rome where Italians are a minority), formed entirely of immigrants from Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Cuba, Ecuador, Argentina, India, Romania, Hungary, and the U.S. Soon after, production began on the upcoming "documusical" Prove d'Orchestra, which documents this fascinating project. With outstanding solo artists, L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio has aroused the curiosity of music critics, journalists and sociologists around the world. The outstanding group plays an explosive mix of South Asian worldbeat, Andean melodies, North African rhythms, and jazz. Each musician has his own cultural background, and this meshing of traditions and cultures leads to a fusion of different styles, melodies and voices from all over the world.

While it may sound like an entire Balkan gypsy orchestra playing modern songs as mournful ballads and upbeat marches, Beirut's first album, Gulag Orkestar, is largely the work of one 19-year-old Albuquerque native, Zach Condon, with assistance by Jeremy Barnes (Neutral Milk Hotel, A Hawk and a Hacksaw) and Heather Trost (A Hawk and a Hacksaw). Horns, violins, cellos, ukuleles, mandolins, glockenspiels, drums, tambourines, congas, organs, pianos, clarinets and accordions (no guitars on this album!) all build and break the melodies under Condon's deep-voiced crooner vocals, swaying to the Eastern European beats like a drunken 12-member ensemble that has fallen in love with The Magnetic Fields, Talking Heads and Neutral Milk Hotel.
"...stunning spring-to-summer gypsy-klezmer...beautiful and disarming."
"...awe-inspiring, wonderous, almost intangible composition of raw talent, emotion, and complexity, reminding us why we listen to music..."
"...a feat because it is a folky record that is so much fun."
"This kid...is a genius, who...has created one of the most diverse and creative albums of 2006 thus far."

One of Hungary's most popular táncház band Csik Ensemble are on this released joined by Kálmán Magyar (member of New York based Életfa Group), and Ukraine born Cimbalom player Alexander Fedoriouk amongst others.
These recordings are the result of Csik Ensemble's own research in Hungary Moldavia and Romania, as well as that of pioneering work done by György Martin. To aid the arranging of these songs they have also studied film footage of old traditional csardas dancing and ritual folk customs.
Csík Ensemble, which plays traditional Transylvanian and Hungarian village music, was founded in Kecskemét, Hungary, in 1988. Over the years they have become popular playing at dance-houses and concerts both in Hungary and abroad. Previously, they have been awarded the titles of "Young Masters of folk Art" and "Eminent Art Ensemble".
Kiskunság, Bácska, Sárköz, Gyimes, Székely land, North-Mezőség, Moldva, Oltenia: these are the areas where the band selected the materials for its record.

Few people have as much right to claim they are world musicians as Ferenc Snétberger has. Hailing from a Sinti/Roma family in Hungary, Snétberger played Gypsy guitar at an early age, learned classical guitar as a teenager, studied jazz guitar later at the Ferenc Liszt Academy, Budapest and adapted Brazilian and Spanish techniques to his playing. Carrying in his bag the passion of tango, Indian music and the admiration for Egberto Gismonti, Jim Hall and Johann Sebastian Bach, Snétberger knew from the start that he would never want to play without improvising but keep his exquisite classical touch whatever he would do. "I am a jazz guitarist but also a classical guitarist", he says. "Folklore - that's my childhood and youth, my roots. The touch is more classical, the sound is jazz. I don't have a recipe for this mixture, I put it together unconsciously." Since living in Berlin, Snétberger has become one of the few truly distinctive voices on contemporary guitar, a border-crossing virtuoso of a rare kind. An obvious choice to step in for the late Charlie Byrd in the 'Great Guitars' band and a welcome celebrity at the Budapest Music Academy, he also frequently appears in ethnic-oriented musical contexts.
Presenting him as a mature composer in different settings, "For My People" is unlike any of Snétberger's earlier recordings. The solo pieces are elegant bows towards Spain and Latin America featuring Snétberger's improvisational fantasy combined within clear playing concepts for the classical guitar. The sensational duo suite with trumpet virtuoso Markus Stockhausen, a son of the famous composer, surprised the creators themselves upon listening back. After the first rehearsal, the two of them put aside the written parts and improvised like one man. However, the most significant and elaborate piece on the album is Snétberger's Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra in three movements. Dedicated to the memory of his people, the Roma and Sinti, the concert is inspired by the soulful melodies of Gypsy tradition. A vital statement against human suffering, "In Memory of my People" was written on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps. Snétberger improvised his own part within the frameworks of the score and presents his instrument as a mighty concert voice.

"If you've lamented the dearth of klezmer rock bands, Golem is out to win your heart. Pushing the tempo - not to mention the envelope - the New York-based band puts a unique spin on contemporary Jewish music. "I tried to imagine how Tom Waits would record a klezmer album," says band founder Annette Ezelkiel. Nowhere is this wild Waitsian sensibility more apparent than on the driving "Bialystok." Golem, named after the legendary Jewish Frankenstein of Prague, has named their songs after old-world places, the longed-after locales of the unsettled diaspora. Golem's reinterpretation of the classic "Rumenye" is a crazy blend of "Metamorphosis," the Violent Femmes, and homesickness. Not all of the songs are so wild; the plaintive tombone of "Belz" wouldn't shock your alte bobe. But Golem is a new kind of Jewish band, combining a respect for tradition with a proclivity toward the sensual and melodramatic. A highly enjoyable album from a band to watch."

"Hungary’s astonishing Gypsy village band Parno Graszt's third album, This World Is Made For Me is arrived! Some of the new tracks will reveal a previously hidden character of their music: bitter, mourning 'hush' melodies sung on funerals as well as disenchanted, disillusioned love songs. Yet there's no doubt that most of the songs will get you for a rampant musical gallop on the back of a Parno Graszt with a speed over 160 BPM !!! Shavale Romale, swing into the saddle and fasten your seatbelts!"

As the 10th of 17 children of a farmer’s family Bolot grew up in the Altai mountains.
He was taught to play the Jew’s harp by his grandmother who used to play by the fire in the evening and by his uncle who was a famous ”khomus”-player. In 1992 his international career began when he won in the competition ”The Voice of Asia”. Later he played with Joe Zawinul and with various musicians from Jamaica and the USA. After some painful experiences with the Western market economy he has been working as an independent musician since 1994.

"Attention, World Music fans, beware: the Hungarians are coming! Here is a group whose following takes to the dance floor at the first notes of each concert and just cannot stop dancing. Besh o droM's music is a highly original alloy of East European folk music vernaculars such as Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Southern Slav, Greek musical dialects, not to speak of the marked Gypsy, Turkish and Mid-East leanings. The group often finds itself at odds with the folk purists as they take their material out of the museum showcase to arrange it in their highly original fashion - considering this heritage as anyone's treasure trove. Their name, Besh o droM, is a Gipsy idiom for "Go your own way!". And so they do."
"They start at full speed with "Nekemtenemmutogatol Oro," as they whirl between a few different melodies during the piece. They slow down for "Neyem, Neyem..." and there is a precision to the music that brings out the dance. "Csango Menyhart" is a fun piece that would fit any slapstick chase. The vocals in "Engem Anyam Megatkozott (My Mother Cursed Me)" have a nasal edge to them that takes a moment to get used to, and then it fits right in with the music. "Introduction" is an instrumental introduction to the group that flows right into "Cigansko Oro," with its mixture of old and new styles of music. "Afghan" is enticing, the notes sliding around you; foreign, unknown and intoxicating. They start off with some jazz in "Csujogato (Yell)," then add some rap into the mix and somehow it all works. "Pergeto (Scat Song)" seems to contain a bit of all the previous songs plus some others and it is a blast. There is a strong bluegrass flavour to "Koczkae," the shortest piece on the CD. They introduce you to the melodies first in "Kanna Solo" and then they twist them ever so slightly as they repeat them. "Igenyes Iegenyes (Man's Dance)" has an irreverent edge to it; somehow you know they are messing around with the melodies even if you can't quite tell how. They throw in some sound effects for "Manocsavo," and close the piece off on one. The last song, "Szeles Vilag (Big Wide World)" has the feel of a parting song.Besh o droM take traditional melodies and then go off in new directions. At times there is a strong sense that the melodies on Can't Make Me! are traditionally played very differently. The music they create stays with you -- it is fun, and it is wonderful. Listen, no dance to it, interact with it and enjoy."

From record label:
"The exceptional pastry, the devil’s bomb, is born from a mixture of ingredients seemingly foreign to one another (flour, eggs, milk, fat, cocoa); here Béla Ágoston takes the devil’s bomb approach in tuning together worlds of music seemingly foreign to one another. At first seemingly divergent, the sounds of big band, free jazz, various dialects of Hungarian folk music, influences of balkan melodies and rhythm, atmospheres of classical music and references from pop music - speak together and one after another. But the means of kneading all these together is what makes the music of Ördögbomba original.
Béla Ágoston is a truely universal musician: he is equally at home in jazz (in the bands: Mecseki Free, Dél-alföldi Saxofone Ensemble) and in the world of folk music (Vízöntő, Vasmalom). This recording has a good balance of arrangements with references to a purer folk sound and the more jazz-like (sometimes jazz-rock). The flow of dynamic, serious, sensitive alternating with the ironic numbers inspire listening."
From the band:
"...In our case, the new frame involves a violinist and a bassist from a string band, a guitarist from a tamboura band, a saxophonist and a percussionist from a wind band and a bagpipe-player, who is the preserver of the old style of play. Our music is a mixture which floats between the Earth and the Soul with its modern rhythm, old tunes and throbbing dynamics.: WORLD MUSIC."

"Pianist Béla Szakcsi Lakatos has a lengthy history that includes playing classical music and jazz standards as well as being the first in Hungary to explore fusion. As a member of Special EFX, he toured the world and appeared on many recordings. He has also worked extensively at exploring his Hungarian heritage and turning gypsy-flavored melodies into jazz. Although one can hear a bit of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett in his playing, much of the time Lakatos plays the piano like the folk instrument the cimbalom, a bit out of time yet swinging in its own fashion. Lakatos' originals are full of rich melodies, and the lengthier pieces on Na Dara!, particularly "8th District," are episodic, unpredictable, and intriguing. The occasional wordless vocals of Csaba Rostás and particularly his wife, Mónika Rostás, are haunting and authentic, giving this music an even stronger flavor of Eastern Hungarian music. Lakatos wraps up this continually interesting set with a stately reading of John Lewis' "Django." Recommended!"
"I believe that what we have on this album is world music in the truest sense of the word. To my mind, world music is not when a Cuban musician or a Gypsy plays the tunes of his own people but when various musical cultures and styles merge into one. Here you have the Hungarian and Gypsy elements fusing with the strains of Oriental music, occasionally straying into the blues while phrases crop up even from Bartók’s Piano Concerto No. 1, and there is the undeniable influence of twenty-first-century contemporary music. But all through this pulses the underlying current of jazz."

"Csókolom is pronounced something like 'shock column', and is originally an old fashioned Hungarian greeting meaning "I kiss your hand." At the same time Csókolom are an extraordinary band based in Berlin and Amsterdam. When they were invited by German Profolk organisation to represent Germany at the Folk Alliance, they made with their Hungarian roots music at least two persons crying: on the one hand Nora Guthrie (who writes a dedication in the booklet), on the other hand Chris Strachwitz of Arhoolie Records who directly invited them to record with his label.
The result is impressive. Anti von Kleewitz, leader of the band and both singer and violin player, has a charismatic voice. The songs are presented in a very moving way, accomponied sparsely, but at the same time very effectively by violin and double bass. The songs are in diverse languages from South-East Europe, often in Hungarian, but also in Serbo-Croatian, Romanian or in Roma, the language of the gipsies. The tunes are based on the up to three fiddles of Csókolom, with exciting arrangements between them. There is a special feeling in this music; a lot of swing and energy, with traces of Jazz and Improvisation, but always based on Hungarian and Gipsy traditions. Although the line-up of just violins/violas and double bass is surely unusual, the music has a strong appeal - you never have the feeling that other instruments are missing.
This is great stuff. If you like Eastern European or gipsy music, this one is a must! And, yes, with this recording you get nearly one and a quarter hours (!) of hugely enjoyable, high quality music!"

"Makám was formed in 1984 with the purpose of establishing a peculiar form of community playing music, a special synthesis of harmonies, trying to show the common characteristics belonging together in music cultures of different peoples and contrasting musical forms.
MAKÁM Group is the most characteristic Hungarian representative of the New Tradition.
The MAKÁM Group plays traditional inspirational chamber music strongly tied to the oriental music cultures. The music world their joint compositions is based on the scales of Eastern (ragas), Bulgarian-Turkish scale variations (makams) or the typical mood of the half-tone scales frequently used Bartók. Songs sounding like Hungarian folk ballads and arrangements by musicians with contemporary and jazz skills – this is what Makám offers in its last albums, including the newest one. The growing audience of their concerts proves that this mix works. The beautiful voice of Szilvia Bognár brings life and tenderness to the very precise compositions of Zoltán Krulik."

"Slonovski bal breathes a wind native to the central European Balkans. A perfumed wind, blended with the centennial epic of the Gypsies and a unique mix of European, Slavic, Turkish and Mediterrennean cultures, wich brought us a unique tradition of oriental brass band music.
Grooving with the roaring sounds of tubas, the water-flow of the accordeon, the tender whisper of the clarinet or the blasting clamour of the trumpet, Slonovski Bal steps out like a herb of young elephants joggling through this oriental breeze. Slonovski bal, wich means "the Elephant's Bal" in serbian, is on the top-flight revival of Eastern European music, both there and here, totaly involved in the evolution of composition and improvisation. In this way they crosses Europe boosted by the luminous energy of such dances as Coceks, Sa-Sa and devilish Kolos played at the speed of light and thunder."

"Centuries ago our ancestors had conquered half the globe and amazed the world with our culture and tradition. Now we the young generation will conquer once more with our music that is Folk Rock. We hail from Mongolia , Central Asia and we are the “ Алтан Ураг ”. “ALTAN URAG” can be translated or referred to as the Khan's kin.
We play folk rock music and our band was formed in May, 2002. That same year we performed our first time gig at the “Roaring Hooves” international ethnic, contemporary music festival in Mongolia .
In 2004 the first album of the band was released under the name “Foal's Been Born”. The album had various traditional music influences and came out as a folk, contemporary album. Second album “Made in Altan Urag” has 11 tracks of folk rock music and songs and it was released from Sonor records in December 2006. Band members are professional musicians who graduated music colleges and actual same class colleagues."
