TCHA LIMBERGER ( VIOLIN), RENÉ BIKAR ( BRÁCS),
VILMOS CSIKOS ( DOUBLE BASS)
Tcha’s trio of Budapest musicians causes a sensation, with bursts of soaring
musical tragedy and czardas madness delivered with an astounding purity of sound
and hardly imaginable depth of musical dialogue.
In true Budapest gypsy style they switch between soaring intensity and
smouldering pathos delivering a passion and technical virtuosity that astounds.
MAGYAR NÓTA is music actually composed by the Hungarian nobility, to liven up
their noble feasts and parties. They were looking in the 19th century for
Hungarian music, that had to be less primitive than the traditional Hungarian
music, which was only played by the illiterate peasants.
So they invented a new style, based on elements of Hungarian folk music, both
textual and melodic-harmonic, all played with a classical Western European
sound.
They hired gypsy musicians to come and live with them at the castles, where they
should learn to play violin, double bass, clarinet and cimbalom in a classical
way. Then they should make the new repertoire into one of the most highly
regarded forms of popular music.
‘I myself started to learn that style because the Sinti, Gypsies from western
Europe, including my own family, very much look up to, and love, this Hungarian
music.
Manouche and Sinti used to copy that style, but without the necessary know-how
and especially without the Hungarian language, which one needs very much to be
able to interpret that style well.
This is why I started to learn Hungarian at the age of 20 and spent a year and a
half in Budapest to master this music.
I then founded the Tcha Limberger's Budapest Orchestra.
For this concert we speak of the Budapest Ensemble, since it consists of not
more than three musicians.
This music continues to fascinate me deeply.’

American songwriter and violinist, Laura Cortese (the Dance Cards, Bright Light Sessions) is always looking for treasures in terms of sound, groove and melody based on Roots music. After living in Belgium for several years, she met many artists of various musical genres and instruments (bluegrass, Cajun, old time, zydeco and other Roots music). For this unique concert, she brings together four songwriters from both sides of the Atlantic.
One of them is Kris Drever (Lau, Spell Songs), folk singer-songwriter and key player in the contemporary Scottish folk and roots scene. Coming from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, songwriter Eli West (Cahalen Morrison, John Reischman, Bill Frisell, Dori Freeman) will also take part by bringing a specific sound from the Pacific Northwest and especially of the banjo. Finally, the virtuoso Nora Brown, a young American. will complete this talented musical ensemble.

Pour ce concert unique, elle réunit quatre auteurs-compositeurs venant des deux côtés de l’Atlantique.
L’un d’eux est Kris Drever (Lau, Spell Songs), auteur-compositeur-interprète folk et acteur incontournable de la scène folk et des racines écossaises contemporaines. Venant de l’autre côté de l’océan Atlantique, l’auteur-compositeur Eli West (Cahalen Morrison, John Reischman, Bill Frisell, Dori Freeman) sera aussi de la partie apportant un son caractéristique du « Nord-Ouest du Pacifique et notamment celui du banjo.

Laura Cortese (the Dance Cards, Bright Light Sessions) is een Amerikaanse songwriter en topvioliste die vanuit rootsmuziek steeds op zoek gaat naar pareltjes in klank, groove en melodie. Ze woont nu al enkele jaren in België, maar leerde doorheen het toeren in de VS en Europa veel vrienden kennen in bluegrass, cajun, old time, zydeco en andere rootsmuziek. Deze avond brengt zij vier songwriters van beide kanten van de Atlantische oceaan samen voor een uniek concert.
Eén van hen is Kris Drever (Lau, Spell Songs), folk-singer-songwriter en de ruggengraat van de hedendaagse Schotse roots- en folkscene. Van de overkant van de Atlantische oceaan is songwriter en componist Eli West (Cahalen Morrison, John Reischman, Bill Frisell, Dori Freeman) met zijn kenmerkende ‘Pacific Northwest’ sound present, mét banjo. En last but not least sluit ook fenomeen Nora Brown aan, een jonge Amerikaanse met een passie voor de muziek en verhalen uit de Appalachen, die het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van de old time vertegenwoordigt.
