Korai Öröm are a psychedelic progressive rock band, often sounding like a combination of Ozric Tentacles and Santana’s rhythm section. In particular, their use of percussion is reminiscent of Michael Shrieve. Tribal percussion, pagan flutes, shamanistic trance rock, ambient soundscapes, burning guitar leads, Eastern European folk influences... it’s all in there. Guest musicians from a gypsy folk band further expand their sound.

Korai Öröm has become lately higher-tech and more creative. In addition to their instrumental earth-beat mixture, their present music features female Bulgarian folk and Hungarian jazz singers as well as a sitar player.
