African gathering call

'The world through the eyes of a percussionist' would be a fitting name for this Talamba concert. The percussion ensemble, which strives for 'the peaceful coexistence of genres', is celebrating its 20th anniversary with Erika Miklósa.

The concert in the Béla Bartók National Concert Hall will feature several hundred examples to be seen and heard from the broad family of percussion instruments. These instruments, typically found in the back rows of orchestras, have here been promoted to solo instruments, and are just as capable of expressing love, lulling children to sleep, and evoking soaring melodies as their other instrumental counterparts. Talamba will perform pieces from their African and Latin American repertoire, as well as from Liszt, Kodály and Bartók. The group is at home among many musical styles and even weaves humour into their performances, and their programmes traverse the time and space of the world of music. The repertoire includes Hungarian folk songs, Balkan melodies, African rhythms and pieces rooted in classical music. But they also perform original compositions, jazz standards, classical adaptations and contemporary works. They have a penchant for boldly paraphrasing styles, which can result in a theme from Mozart's The Magic Flute played in an African music style, or even a Bach motif based on Balkan folk music. Their concerts always feature a kind of improvisational flow and anxious expectation. Singing takes a role as well: the family of percussion instruments may number in the thousands, but the most ancient of instruments is still the human voice.
