Bálint Bársony, Erkel Ferenc, Artisjus, and Fonogram award-winning saxophonist, composer, and sound therapist, will perform with the Hungarian Rhapsody Project and musician János Csík at the Várkert Bazár on February 13. Melodies from the Carpathian Basin, the Balkans, and Turkey will also be featured. Bálint Bársony spoke about extraordinary instruments, life-changing journeys to Transylvania and Nepal, the rhythm of the gallop, and the healing power of music.

Kik lesznek az est énekesei, milyen dalokat hoznak?
Egy igazi népzenész legenda, népzenei mentorunk Csík János érkezik majd, aki nem csak hegedülni, de énekelni is fog. Fő énekesünk Elek Norbert, a zongoristánk, aki majd az Indulj el egy úton című dalt, illetve egy török átdolgozást, a Mavilim című dalt énekli el, utóbbit több mint 4 millió török töltötte le. Egy másik török-magyar vonatkozású dalt pedig Tar Gergely, az ütőhangszeresünk ad elő. És a zenekar minden tagja vokálozik.
