Marta Sebestyen is always agood artist to watch for, especially if you get lucky and can see her perform. If you are looking for instrumental music with a lot of energy, watch for the local cimbalom bands and if yo are lucky, a performance by one of the best known players, Kalman Balogh and one of his ensembles. One of my favorite Hungarians is saxophonist and composer Mihaly Dresch. He uses traditional melodies and dance rhythms to create a really edgy and unique jazz. Another jazz-roots artist to find is Parno Graszt, a phenomenal pianist. Finally, a great contemporary Gypsy band you should hear is The Earth Wheel Sky Band. Great energy and exceptional musicianship There are a number of reviews and articles if you search for "Hungary" on RootsWorld, many with some good audio samples. http://www.rootsworld.com/rw/ cliff - -------------------------- If war is the answer, it must be a very stupid question.

I have no idea what she's saying in any of her songs, but "Tipa" samples Running Up That Hill (which is how I originally heard of her.) Well worth checking out. - -Sarah ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:29:29 +0200 From: Leonora Christina Skov Subject: Aura Dione Hi there, I think I've mentioned Danish singer/songwriter Aura Dione before, but I thought I'll mention her again. Her highly praised debut album Columbine came out in Denmark in 2008, she's big in Germany right now, and I just really, really love her voice and her unique sound. She dresses a bit like Lady Gaga and has recently been fugged twice by the fug girls http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?search=aura+dione& IncludeBlogs=1&limit=10Do check her out! Here's I Will Love You Monday http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zbhK_MlIgo A fairly addictive tune. And heres Song for Sophie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcLRD9g2Yrg which is a bit too mainstream for me. Heres a live version of Glass Bone Crash that pretty much sums up what she's all about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9cH11E56CU All best, Leonora _________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V15 #180 ***************************
