Konyha x Söndörgő
Last year's most exciting musical collaboration was undoubtedly between Konyha, a band from the alternative scene that delivers radio hits with strong lyrics (Replayed a Hundred Times, Earthly, Always Here) and Söndörgő, a band that has now established a strong presence on the world music scene and reinterprets the traditions of southern Slavic folk music.
Schedule
Anyone who was lucky enough to catch one of their two gigs last year will know that, as surprising as this pairing may sound, the eleven-piece line-up has created an elemental and unparalleled sound.
At the request of the Road Movie project, the two groups confessed their love for their hometown Szentendre in a joint song (Hazahaza). While recording the song, it was clear that the team had so many musical ideas in common that they could easily make a full evening concert out of it - and this time they gave proof of it. It's an adventure, and the two teams are constantly and enjoyably kneading and nurturing this common musical leaven.
In the joint concert, the two bands will take to the stage together after an hour of their own repertoire and continue their uninhibited yet natural adventure between musical genres: mixing authentic southern Slavic music with rock, pop, jazz, funk - all the styles the performers grew up with.
Kobuci kert
World music evenings, jazz stories, underground, folk music in all its forms and some very serious blues. All this at Kobuci, one of Budapest's best outdoor venues with a garden.
