Latest release from Félix Lajkó which was recorded in the forest of Palics with viola player Antal Brasnyó.


"He is a fiddle player from Hungary and is one of my all time favourite players. His first album, 'Lajko Felix Es Zenekara', was given to me years ago after a concert in Berlin and is long unavailable. I listened to it non-stop through the making of 'Ocean Songs' and it is one of those albums you just find yourself coming back to...He is a reminder that the fire is still there."
Warren Ellis (Dirty Three/Nice Cave)

'I had heard that Lajko is regarded with awe in the Balkans, but was still unprepared for the impact of hearing and seeing him at such close quarters.... he attacks his violin with such ferocity that broken threads cascade from his bow during each number. There is a tendency for Balkan musicians to fit into one of several generic categories – gypsy, folk, Klezmer, etc – but Lajko seems to have invented a style of his own, and any reference to existing genres would be misleading. Each of his instrumental songs had a clear structure, and yet each seemed open to the spirit of the moment.'
Charlie Gillett BBC LDN

"My music is based on the delicacy and colourfulness of my instrument. I do not play any new types of musical genre, I only follow my own path and improvise and write music. I cannot see differences between musical styles and ways, so I play folk-, classical, rock, blues, and improvisational music. I have written music to several theatre plays and films for Yugoslavian and Hungarian directors. I wrote a musical piece for the festival commemorating the Sarajevo Cultural Olympics."
