I'll be traveling to Hungary for several weeks later this year. Any music I should be sure to pick up? And while I'm here, any tips on the best way to pick up rudimentary tourist Hungarian? Some of the best non-native English speakers I know have learned by singing along to music. Any suggestions for where I might find Hungarian tunes to sing along to? ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 08:22:31 -0400 From: Jeffrey Burka Subject: Re: Hungarian ectophilic music? The only one that comes immediately to mind is MC!rta SebestyC)n and the band she's worked with, MuzsikC!s. Definitely on the folky side of ecto. jeff On Jul 22, 2010, at 8:14 AM, Paul Blair wrote: > I'll be traveling to Hungary for several weeks later this year.

Two songs included on _Sitting on the Buffalo_ are traditional (one from Sri Lanka, the other from Turkey_, but the rest are original compositions. Most songs have lyrics in Hungarian delivered by the warbly-voiced female singer (who also plays violin). All in all, a great album with only two sub-par tracks-- one, a pretentious bit of noise that features some really strange vocalizations in a nonsense language and another that, just as pretentiously, consists of several minutes of pure silence. That said, the rest of the CD is awesome and fans of world fusion and crazy funky Balkan rock ought to really, really enjoy this one) i've grown tired of marta sebestyen/muzikas - they dont really do anything for me anymore - -jason np Katzenjammer - Le Pop On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 8:22 AM, Jeffrey Burka wrote: > The only one that comes immediately to mind is MC!rta SebestyC)n and > the band she's worked with, MuzsikC!s. > Definitely on the folky side of ecto. > jeff > > On Jul 22, 2010, at 8:14 AM, Paul Blair wrote: > >> I'll be traveling to Hungary for several weeks later this year.
