The Budapest Ragtime Band was founded in 1980 by former students of the Franz Liszt Music Academy of Budapest.

Besides nurturing the traditions of ragtime music they are also performing pieces of other traditional American genres. The unique and extraordinary shows of the very popular band of Spike Jones gave them the idea to prepare and play humorous adaptations, and parodies of classical music pieces like Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz, Khachaturian's Sword Dance, Brahms' Hungarian Dances and the Monti Csardas to name a few....
