We would like, even during this extraordinary situation, for the Müpa Budapest audience to still be able to encounter the world's most outstanding and thrilling artists each evening - this time in their own homes. It is precisely for this reason that we will open Müpa Budapest's virtual concert hall and auditoriums - each night at the familiar times - by providing access to a single unforgettable performance from past years.
The performance will be broadcasted on our website and YouTube channel.
The members of Blahalouisiana were dreaming big with a special concert to bring their second album, which was released in the autumn of 2017, to their audience. On this occasion, singer Barbara Schoblocher's instantly recognisable voice and the unique Blahalouisiana sound were complemented by classical instruments and a Hammond organ, as scored by composers Dániel Dobri and Bence Farkas. It is the atmosphere of the '70s that the band was conjuring up on the Müpa Budapest stage: All at once, you can travel in time, land on the Moon and take a pleasure flight on the wings of music.
For this special occasion, they have put together an orchestra with a string quartet, wind instruments and a Hammond organ in the style of the James Bond movies of the '70s. While the band will be playing popular songs from their first EP from 2013 (Tales of Blahalouisiana) and last year's début full-length album (Blahalouisiana) at Müpa Budapest in versions never before heard, the core of the show was material from their second album, released in the autumn of 2018. As usual, the ten songs on the record includes songs in both Hungarian and English.
This recording was made at the concert held at Müpa Budapest on 16 January 2018.
