Hungarian gipsy music and Eastern roots of world music meet electronic worlds, egzotic instuments, sound clashes, in a never heard amazing sound-whirlpool.
Mitsoura was the most characteristic Hungarian world-music/etno electronic band of the 2000s, famous for its unique approach to seeking a special sounding experience that is embedded in limitless artistic complexity. After 7 years of break, we can first hear them again in Budapest at A38 in the Spring Festival. The singer, Monika -Mitsou- Miczura claims one of the most prestigious places amongst world-music performers in the world, with her unmistakable voice and distinctive talent. She has worked for example, with film director Tony Gatlif (Gadjo Dilo), was a lead singer in AndoDrom and went on tour with Fanfare Ciocărlia.We could last see her perform as a guest for YallahBye in Belgium. From the original band, Mark Moldvai (music director, live electronics, keyboards, percussion) remained part of the performance next to Mitsou. They are complemented by Andras Jeli (electric and bass guitar, visual director), Barna Gabos (kaval, ney, bamboo flutes) and Sandor Fodo (drums, percussion). Imagine ancient traditions, contemporary sounds, authentic folk elements mixed with 21st century cinematic-electro-ambient sound collages, supported with a strong visual background. With all certainty, MITSOURA’s multimedia concert promises to be a special event.
