Musician's Café: Tamás Balázs & His Band
Musician's Café: Tamás Balázs & His Band
Guests will all be welcomed with a drink and then, in keeping with the spirit of the Musicians’ Café, dinner and drinks will also be available at the concert venue.
Whether it is the stirring melodies of stringed Roma bands or the moving melodies of bar pianists, music has always permeated the restaurants, pubs and cafés of Hungarian towns. Once a month, the Musicians’ Café series, launched in the café at the House of Music Hungary, takes its audience into the world of visiting musicians. During our café evenings, we bring to life the restaurant atmosphere of the Gyula Krúdy era, celebrities like Pál Jávor and Antal Páger, who partied with the bands, or decadent jazz musicians. The aim of the series is to draw attention to one of our most important Hungarian heritage items: café Roma music, which is sadly being neglected increasingly. This time, the evening of Tamás Balázs, one of the leading primas of the Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, sets an example of the gypsy music of the café.
The aim of the series is to draw attention to one of the most important parts of Hungarian heritage, the Roma music of the cafés, which sadly is increasingly neglected nowadays.
