Embracing the talents of traditional and world music from the Carpathian Basin
Dear Visitor,
please find below the finest selection of Hungarian traditional folk and world music bands of 2017. Bands who had applied for our open call were selected by the most relevant experts of the Hungarian music industry. The annual brochure of the Hungarian Heritage House is presenting a large and representative sample of contemporary performing artists whose art is deeply rooted in the rich and colourful musical traditions of the Carpathian Basin.
The Carpathian Basin has always been a multi-national and therefore a multi-cultural region. Since these traditional cultures – including music – used to live together, we can regard it as one unit: a colourful, vivid and powerful whole involving Hungarian, Rumanian, Swabian, Gipsy and Slavic melodies, instruments and rhythms.
The traditional folk culture of Hungary and its neighbouring countries as well as their ethnic groups has always provided a fertile ground for studying intangible cultural heritage and has always been able to fill the soul with energy.
The international department is committed to getting the international audiences acquainted with the values of Hungarian folk arts, especially with traditional and world music.
Members of the department are happy to provide you with necessary information about the bands in either genre: traditional folk music, re-adapted folk music or both. Both, because we believe that the better you know traditional folk music the better you can adapt it.
So that our music truly belongs to the world, and becomes world music.
