Hungarian fusioneers
Kerekes Band continue their exploration into ethno funk.
Kerekes
call it 'Ethno Funk', it is their contemporary interpretations of songs
derived from Csango Hungarian folk music.
From label:
"From an ensemble playing authentic folk music from Gyimes and Moldva, through long and
persistent learning and countless jam sessions for sheer love of the music,
Kerekes Band has been 'polished' to become a band that mingles tunes of Hungarian folk music with a large variety of
popular musical genres, creating a unique style they like to call 'Ethno Funk'. The international and
countrywide success did not keep them waiting for too long; one of the most acknowledged world
music magazines, the British Songlines voted their third album titled Pimasz to be one of the year's
best world music albums ('Top of the World') in October, 2006. Fel a
kalappal! continues to enhance their unmistakable and further crystallized sound that couples
folk instruments with modern electronics."
From the band:
"Formed in Eger in 1995 Kerekes became a well-known dance-house band across Hungary and have had a regular dance-house in Eger since 1997.
Kerekes have been influenced by contemporary music styles from around the world and now compose
and perform a more modern and freestyle form of their own music with definite influences from their Balkan
neighbours, Serbia, Romania & Turkey.
Kerekes originally played traditional roots and folk music from Gyimes
and Moldova and spent many of their early years playing and studying with the masters of Hungarian traditional music, especially Viktor
and János Timár from Gyimes, with whom they learnt and collected over 250 folk- tunes, and with whom they learnt the craft of making music for
dance."
