The economic crisis within the record industry, as well as in the world at large, has made life difficult for folk and world music performers. From Rivulet to Ocean attempts to find a solution to this problem through an exceptional collaboration (involving the Hungarian Heritage House, the A38 Boat, the Fonó Buda House of Music and the Palace of Arts). The creators have put together a four-day series of concerts and events to which fifteen leading foreign experts in the field have been invited. ...This may well present performers with an opportunity to win international contracts, but at the very least a chance to introduce themselves. The four bands performing at the Palace of Arts reveal the wide range represented. Folk-rockers Fókatelep were formed in 2007 from former members of Korai Öröm and colorStar with singer Annamária Oláh. Napra, led by Miklós Both, combines electronic and folk instruments to create a unique balance. Tárkány Művek, formed in 2009 by cimbalom player Bálint Tárkány-Kovács, has created its own musical language from a variety of genres including jazz, folk and the chanson culture from between the two world wars. The Csík Ensemble – who hardly need to be introduced to the Müpa audience – have been moulding public tastes for the last twenty years, and on this occasion fuse their main profile of folk music with rock. Hungarian world music is alive and well – and this time it is not merely local audiences who can be convinced of this. Presented by: Palace of Arts
