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.’

Description
********** English **********
From his first passion for rumba in his native district of Point-Noire, in Congo-Brazzaville, to the discovery of hip-hop in the 1990s, from the co-founding of Tambours de Brazza to his collaboration with Ray Lema, the Congolese singer Fredy Massamba sketched the world with an insatiable curiosity, as if to better understand where it came from.
Trancestral, third solo album, follows in the tradition of his latest adventures with Ray Lema, his mentor in musicology from the Black Continent: the same polyphonic abundance, the same rhythmic flowering, to re-enchant a vast Congolese repertoire that he never stopped exploring. Pygmy yodeling on the very beautiful track, ngoma drums, funk or hip-hop sessions… each song is like a painting, which he crosses with his soul voice, in Kikongo, the language of exquisite swing, and in Lingala, always happy to chat. One thing is certain, this concert will be a great party!

De ses premiers émois de rumba dans son quartier natal de Point-Noire, au Congo-Brazzaville, à la découverte du hip-hop dans les années 1990, de la cofondation des Tambours de Brazza à sa collaboration avec Ray Lema, le chanteur congolais Fredy Massamba a croqué le monde avec une insatiable curiosité, comme pour mieux comprendre d’où il venait. Trancestral, troisième album en solo, s’inscrit dans la lignée de ses dernières aventures avec Ray Lema, son mentor en musicologie du continent noir: même foisonnement polyphonique, même floraison rythmique, pour réenchanter un vaste repertoire congolais qu’il n’a jamais cessé d’explorer. Yodel pygmée sur le très beau-morceau titre, tambours ngoma, sessions de funk ou de hip-hop… chaque chanson est comme un tableau, qu’il traverse de son ample voix de soul, en kikongo, langue de swing exquis, et en lingala, toujours ravi de converser. Une chose est sûre, ce concert sera une grande fête !
********** Nederlands **********
Sinds zijn eerste passie voor de rumba in zijn geboortewijk Point-Noire, in Congo-Brazzaville, over de ontdekking van hiphop in de jaren negentig of toen hij mee het legendarische les Tambours de Brazza oprichtte tot zijn samenwerking met Ray Lema, de Congolese zanger Fredy Massamba heeft de wereld steeds benaderd met een onverzadigbare nieuwsgierigheid, alsof hij beter wilde begrijpen waar die vandaan kwam. Trancestral, zijn derde soloalbum, volgt de traditie van zijn laatste avonturen met Ray Lema, zijn mentor in de musicologie van het Zwarte Continent. Met dezelfde polyfone overvloed, dezelfde ritmische rijkdom tovert hij met een enorm Congolees repertoire dat hij nooit gestopt is te verkennen. In Fredy’s universum hoor je hem pygmee jodelen, ngoma-drums spelen, maar krijg je ook funk- of hiphopinvloeden. Elk nummer is als een schilderij, dat hij doorkruist met zijn rijke soulstem, in het Kikongo, met zijn swingende ritme, en in Lingala, geschikt om verhalen te vertellen. Eén ding staat vast. Dit concert wordt een gigantisch feest.
