Babám
October 2007 saw Babam's first ever public performance at the a38 ship on the banks of the Danube. Of Babam's original 8 members, 4, including the band's lead vocalist and song writer Julia Kasa (of Anima sound system fame), originated from the experimental jazz outfit Koala Fusion. During these formative years the band also consisted of two backing singers and a guitarist.
During those years the band was seen playing at the most infamous of Hungary's venues and festivals, including Godor and Sziget Festival. Kasa's songs combine a mix of soul, new jazz and dub step, with a genuine Hungarian folk influence.
At the end of 2009 Kasa reformed the band. They have since won awards at Fete de la Musique (aka World Music Day), PANKKK (a state-sponsored music organization), and a Fringe prize in the Capital of Culture for 2010, Pecs. Following their award at Fete de la Musique, Babam will represent Hungary in Warsaw at the event.
