Batyu | Borbély | Lőrinszky at Jazzfest Budapest at Liszt Ferenc Tér

The trio of Zoltán Farkas "Batyu", one of the earliest and best-known figures of the dance-house movement, the multi-instrumentalist Mihály Borbély, master of Hungarian wind ethnojazz, and Attila Lőrinszky, an experimental bassist with a wide range of musical instruments, is a new addition to the Hungarian contemporary folklore scene. "Batyu" is a curious figure in today's musical life, who, in addition to his in-depth knowledge of dance folklore, also approaches the movement forms of folk tradition with a processing, synthesizing approach. His concert material, which wavers on the borders of music and dance, is most often staged in two separate duo formations. In one of these duos, he plays with Mihály Borbély, the legendary master of Hungarian wind ethnojazz, while in the other he is partnered by Attila Lőrinszky, an experimental double bass player with a wide range of musical instruments. The three artists will take to the stage together to disrupt the texture of traditional dance material and music, unraveling it into a new material stretched between movement and melody.
