11 July
Representatives of the most popular light music trends, and prize-winners of this year’s Budapest Fringe Festival bring a real Saturday night party mood to the Chain Bridge. MUSICBRIDGE – at 11 am the Katáng group awaits you for their world music concert. 11 July, Saturday Pest side 11.00 am Katáng
Patchwork of songs
Flóra Chilton – Celtic harp
Péter Farkas – voice, guitar Bence Kas – voice, drums Csilla Kaczúr – voice, accordion, Irish flutes Antal Szabó – double bass, tuba Heart-warming songs for young and old alike, written to verses by great Hungarian poets. The illustrious company includes Erzsi Gazdag, Sándor Kányádi, Béla Horgas, Dénes Kiss, Imre Varga, János Bartalis, György Dénes, Sándor Gál, Erzsébet Verseghy.
The songs and tales evoke the world of imagination with a distinctive orchestration. 16.30 pm 'round nine
The Budapest group 'round nine (ex Woodfish) has been giving concerts since the spring of 2007. Their sound is marked by dynamic, funky-Latin rhythms and songs sung by striking female voices with elements of soul and blues.
18.00 pm The Dog’s Supper
Livius Varga (Quimby, Braindogs, conga, voice) was told by his grandmother that music-making is “the dog’s supper”. His grandmother is no doubt right, but this charming statement did not deter the percussionist-dogsbody-talking head of Quimby from setting up his own group with Ferenc Gerdesits (Quimby, Ludditák, Üllői Úti FUCK, Marlboro Man) in the summer of 2003.
The Dog’s Supper is great enjoyment for those who can stand colourful music in a wide range of styles and contradictory moods! The rhythms come from hiphop and triphop, the guitar sounds and electronics from total experimentalia, Radiohead, Massive Attack, and post-rock, Livius’s singing and rap from one-man humour, coffee-house stand-up comedy, hiphop, ragga, the typical Livius “rapping and telling a story to a chanson” familiar from Quimby and the blues. And if all that isn’t enough, they throw in a little soul, a little film music mood, jazz elements crop up, while pure rock and roll looms over it all, and so on, and so forth. 19.30 pm Kingston Cruisers
Prize winner of the 2009 Budapest Fringe+ Festival
Evelyn Asiama – voice
Gergely Balla – guitar Péter Balog – drums Tamás Csaba – guitar 'SkaPeti' Péter Hargitai – trumpet, voice Balázs Havasi – bass guitar Gergely Ipacs – guitar, voice Roman Rishko – trombone, voice Szabolcs Sélley – alto and soprano saxophone László Szilágyi – keyboards They set themselves the goal of bringing new impetus to Hungarian club life with their highly colourful programmes in the reggae and ska scene, building a bridge between ska and reggae fans who at that time were still separated by a wide gap. Their music accordingly spans a wide spectrum, from reggae ballads to faster-paced, more dance-like ska songs, in places mixed with dub, dancehall, ragga and a touch of jazz.
21.00 pm Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra
KRSA aka Lord Panamo – voice
Tony Ass – trumpet Pozanlaci – trombone Luki, Tomi – saxophone Mr. P – keyboards Lacibá – guitar Dr. Strict – bass guitar Csákikapitány – guitar Lipi Brown – drums Gyuri – violin The music of the Pannonia Allstars Ska Orchestra is an interesting mix of traditional ska, reggae and 2tone, but, of course, other musical influences can also be detected, from jazz to dub. Their texts are also varied: besides jokier, lighter themes they also include social criticism with numbers condemning aggression and all kinds of hatred.
Buda side 16.00 pm Nicoïcmus
French-Hungarian fusion pop duo
Nicolas Bürki – piano, voice
Miklós Esterházy – drums Nicoïcmus, a group on the borderline of jazz and popular music, was launched in October 2006 in Budapest. Nicolas Bürki has reworked his Paris compositions with drummer Miklós Esterházy. The dynamism and improvisation that characterises their music draws on the traditions of reggae, funk, French and classical music.
17.30 pm Suburban Neon
Prize winner of the 2009 Budapest Fringe+ Festival
Dániel Nagy – voice
Márk Bubnó – drums Gábor Kárpáti – keyboards András Radnóczi – bass guitar Tamás Csaba – guitar With the creation of Dream Rock, Suburban Neon undertook to expand and reinterpret traditional orchestration, opening new perspectives in light music. The melodic lightness of the basic ideas and numbers retained from classical pop make the new style easy to appreciate.
19.00 pm Mátyás Pribojszki Band
Mátyás Pribojszki – mouth organ, voice
Csaba Pengő – double bass, bass guitar Erik Kovács – piano Dániel Molnár – drums and regular guest Ferenc Szász – guitar The group was formed in 2003. Right from the start their aim was to try to place the mouth organ in a modern musical environment embracing many genres and so open new paths for this instrument that many people associate exclusively with traditional genres. The style of the Mátyás Pribojszki Band is unique; it cannot be pinned down to specific genres but is a mixture of blues, funky, melodic jazz and dynamic groove.
20.30 pm After Crying
Zoltán Bátky – voice
Gábor Egervári – lyrics, concert sound, flute Zoltán Lengyel – piano, synthesizer Zsolt Madai – drums Péter Pejtsik – cello, bass guitar Ferenc Torma – guitar, synthesizer Balázs Winkler – trumpet, synthesizer The After Crying ensemble was formed in 1986. Eleven albums and countless concerts in Hungary and abroad show that it is one of the most exciting groups on the Hungarian music scene.
Applying creative freedom and talent they have drawn on acoustic chamber music, modern rock and pop music, symphonic orchestration and a range of classical and contemporary forms to create a colourful but consistent image and world view. In addition to much international recognition, in 2004 After Crying won an eMeRTon award. |
