Every year since 2008, this festive gala of Hungarian folk and world music has filled Müpa Budapest to bursting. On this occasion, the evening will be framed by the Moldavian and Gyimes dance house music of Róbert Kerényi and the Szigony Band, while the still-youthful musicians of the Sarjú Band are also experienced dance house performers. Géza Fábri and Balázs “Dongó” Szokolay will present their folk-inspired music, the result of 30 years of collaboration and improvisation. Cimbaliband, which blends Eastern European vibes with folk music, arrives with its rarely heard Diva program featuring Ágnes Herczku. The new threesome of Szilvia Bognár, Bori Magyar, and Ági Szalóki also promises an exciting musical treat, one that radiates the joy and power of singing together. Balkan Union, led by guitarist-singer Csaba Tóth Bagi and expanded to include Branka Básits and Dávid Eredics, will present their new album at the gala.
