Otodik Evszak?s (5th season?s) first recording has met the challenges of offering positive, playful, acoustic music-worldly interpretation lingering on the Budapest-Paris cultural axis. Alongside their knowledge of authentic folk music and presentation of Hungary?s folk music treasures, selected poems from Attila Jozsef, Erno Szep, Sandor Csoori and Victor Hugo make the recording complete. The dual language appears like color in their music speaking to and taming one and all, from the banks of the Seine all the way to Hungary?s meandering Tisza River! They play urban music with acoustic folk instrumentation. Their melodies evoke a melancholic, romantic picture of a city infused with the spirit of Hungarian folk heritage and the memory of French salons. Their music is born in an urban setting and pays respect to tradition, playfully combining these two worlds.
