Mészáros Ádám & Palotaï Csaba: Twang Twang (HU/FR)

Twang Twang is the long-awaited meeting of two adventurous spirits. Ádám Mészáros is one of the most eclectic Hungarian guitarists of the past twenty years; throughout his musical journey, which spans genres and borders, he has made his mark in the world of pop-rock (Péterfy Bori & Love Band, Amorf Ördögök, Erik Sumo Band), is at home in the realms of avant-garde jazz and free music (Jü, Qiyan, Jazzaj), is a key figure in folk-rooted productions (Tariqa, Saïd Chalaban, Mabon Dawud Republic), and loves to flirt with other art forms (Krétakör, Minden Csillag soundtrack). Born in Budapest and living in Paris for three decades, guitarist-composer Csaba Palotaï’s style is defined by rock, free jazz, blues, and Eastern European folk music. In addition to his own musical projects, he has participated in numerous productions alongside artists such as Thomas De Pourquery, Rémi Sciuto, John Zorn (Cobra), Omar Sosa, Steve Argüelles, and Sylvain Rifflet. To date, eight of his albums have been released by BMC Records: following his first band, Grupa Palotaï, he recorded albums with other groups, and as a solo artist, he released The Deserter, followed most recently by the album Soulbread.
