22.30 > concert: Kiss Erzsi Music (60')

Kiss Erzsi Music does not imitate real traditional world music itself, but influences from Africa to Alaska, from the Arab world to the blues may easily be spotted in their songs. Erzsi Kiss, the founder of the band is not only an outstanding singer, capable of anything with her voice, but an incomparable stage presence as well. Erzsi's versatility takes up influences from folkish to drum'n'bass, through dark balladistic tales up to the world of sunny French melodies, or even to the Seventies' rock feel. "A unique, virtual world music".

23.30 > concert: Partika (60')
an amazing polka-punk-pop concert-cuvée-show…
"The Krétakör Danceband is a typical concert band. It was made to entertain us for a night and revamp various hits with unique vitality in this dissolving, slowly, completely disintegrating Hungarian world of pop." (Zoltán Végső)
Partika formed by Krétakör's former actors and musicians is a unique phenomenon of the Budapest theatre and concert scene. They perform well-known pop songs and Hungarian oldies with a unique theatrical twist, accompanied by video projection.
Don't leave your dancing shoes at home…
