Ismerős Arcok (Familiar Faces)

The band Ismerős Arcok has been present in the Hungarian popular music scene since 1999. Through its regular lyric-writing and composing work and its concerts, which attract large audiences, it promotes and raises awareness of the importance of loving universal Hungarian culture. As an alternative to the current trend of fashion music, it offers the exciting and captivating musical sound and unique ideas that are unique to Ismerős Arcok, and which distinguish the group from the rest of contemporary Hungarian rock music.

The clear, sophisticated and precisely crafted melodies are enhanced by the valuable thoughts of Attila Nyerges, which have been a hallmark of Ismerős Arcok's musical work for years. In addition to the traditional rock music sound, their music also features elements of blues, jazz, pop and world music. Among the themes of their songs, the most typical ideas are family and patriotism, respect and preservation of our culture and values, and the importance of being in a community.

All of their compositions are musical imprints of the six artists' souls.

The members of the group believe and have been active contributors to the significant social changes of the past with their songs. In many of their compositions, they have expressed the demands that have given the Hungarian people the legal rights to live in their homeland, the Carpathian Basin.

The "timeless" music of Ismerős Arcok has been handed down from generation to generation, making it a favourite band in families.

The band, which used to play in cosy clubs, has become a popular performer at Hungarian rock, pop, motorcycle and gastronomic festivals, town and village fairs, special municipal festivities and traditional meetings. They have been one of the most frequently touring bands of the last 20 years, having performed in almost all corners of the Carpathian Basin and toured successfully in Canada, the United States and Sweden.

Their albums are consistently at the top of the MAHASZ sales charts.

In addition to the countless professional awards and prizes, Attila Nyerges considers the most important milestones of the orchestra's career to be the state awards, the 2019 SZER Message Award and the Péter Máté Award, the most prestigious state award for decades of cultural achievements.
