Tárkány Művek - Helló Budapest!
The Junior Prima Award-winning Tárkány Művek was founded by cimbalom player and songwriter Bálint Tárkány-Kovács. Bálint's songs, lyrics and arrangements are realised with the help of his fellow musicians.
Bálint's songs are dance-party songs, floating love ballads, socially critical telling songs with irony and humour. The musical source is the Hungarian musical tradition, of which Bálint considers the centuries-old Hungarian jazz and the half-century-old pop-rock tradition to be a part, because tradition is not the distant past, not a closed thing, but a living and open culture that lasts until the present. That is why it is misleading to talk about reworkings, Tárkány Művek is merely a continuation of Hungarian music, it continues to cultivate what we call culture. Bálint's lyrics are mostly lyrical, sweet-sweet, sometimes philosophical, contemplative. In addition to his own texts, he also writes poem-scores, with folk poems and remakes of Hungarian poets such as Endre Ady, Attila József, Mihály Babits, János Lackfi, János Pilinszky and others.
