"Besh o droM" on Magyar Mix
Don't miss "Besh o droM" on Magyar Mix - Sunday at 1 pm !
We will play as many songs from this great band's 4 CDs as possible in one short hour ...
Besh o droM was founded in 1999 in Budapest (Hungary). Their music is inspired by Balkan, Hungarian and Romanian Gypsy tunes and Middle Eastern traditional music.They interpret this music in their unique style, mixing various musical genres and backgrounds. Most of the tunes they play are traditional but they take the liberty to use any tunes they really like and enjoy. They have developed a very loyal following in Hungary and have started their career in the international world music circuit.
Besh o droM in Gypsy language means "sit on the road" literally, but its real meaning is "follow your path, get on with it". It is also wordplay in Hungarian meaning "I am rolling…"(a cigarette).
The band's line-up is centred around a highly experienced pair of fantastic musicians, Gergo Barcza and Ádám Pettik. Besides being friends and brother-in-laws, they have been playing together for many years. They choose the musicians they like to work with and select the musical material for the tracks.
An urban wedding band, Besh o droM's sound is ethnic tradition with the best of club culture, the unique sound of the cimbalom with jazz improvisation, a fantastic Balkan brass section with locked-down funk grooves.
The current composition of the band:
Gergely Barcza: alto and soprano saxomophone, kaval, ney, sheperd's flute
Ádám Pettik: derbuka, water can, drums, vocal
László Békési: saxomophone, clarinet
József Csurkulya: dulcimer
Attila Sidoo: guitar
Csaba Talabos: tapan
Péter Tóth: trumpet
Árpád Vajdovich: bass
Ági Szalóki: vocals
Mónika Mitczura: vocals
