Lajkó 50! - Lajkó Félix & Kurina duó, Layra
The Paganini of the contemporary Hungarian and international music scene turns fifty! The violin and zither virtuoso, orchestra leader, composer, jazz and ethnic, Hungarian and Balkan, Eastern and Western, improvisational and classical, traditional and experimental, and many other adjectives, but consistently evading all classifications, his creative personality is now not only familiar from Kelebiya to Japan, Belgrade to London and Budapest to Berlin, New York and Beijing, but is celebrated with the best and the brightest in the music charts to the highest acclaim.
Schedule
It seems like only yesterday when we started to get to know him in his solo productions, then with the Dreschs, and later in duos with more and more famous superstars from Balanescu to Volosi, as well as with his own formations from Vojvodina, with the most amazing line-ups and yet always drifting genius.
Let's celebrate together the 50th birthday of this dizzying, unique and unrepeatable musical genius at the peak of his career, give him back the energy he has given us so much of, let's swim in the sounds of endless creativity, soar to his unbridled melodies and revel in his musical vehemence with a whipping up of momentum!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to top off a series of fantastic concerts at the A38 Ship, the venue of many of his legendary concerts, and celebrate this silent genius' most profound musical outpouring on the occasion of his 50th birthday in the finest acoustic quality.
The first venue for the 50th anniversary is the A38 Ship
A38 Ship
Converted from a coal-mining ship, the A38 is easily Budapest's most unique concert venue. The belly of the ship has been home to a wide range of live and electronic music for almost 20 years, and when it's full you can feel the rhythmic movement of the partygoers making waves in the Danube. Foreign acts often refer to it afterwards as their favourite club.
