HUNGARIAN POETRY DAY | JAMESE

The essence of their music is always personal, regardless of whether the song is framed by a poem or by their own lyrics. Their albums are characterised by a constant mix of styles, as the band does not seek to be pigeonholed into a single style. Thus, it is possible to turn poems into songs with a more popular structure, and folk songs into psychedelic improvisations with loops, as in the song "I would swim in silence". Compositions written exclusively for vocals also pop up in the repertoire from time to time, such as the song "Frames" on their latest album, which is based on a poem by Anna T. Szabó and is composed with vocal loops.

All this is mainly due to the singer's belief that the lyrics and the message come first. On the Day of Hungarian Poetry, the focus will be on their covers of poems by János Lackfi, Anna T. Szabó and Péter Kántor, and last year's three-song Petőfi single will also be performed.
