sharePoklade Band IS the Balkans: the song of the cicadas, shards of breaking glasses, the fire of rakia. Flavors, colors, spices, pain and the will to live, but most of all the kind of ancient energy that sticks to the hand, then flies off.
Another superb Balkan record from the Fonó! The music on "Balkantransz" is a true ’poklade’ –this great fullblooded music is like a real transformation. Students of legendary master musicians Versendi Kovács József, Tiszai György and Peti Kovács István founded their own band in 2010 in the southern Hungarian town of Mohács - the tambura music acropolis. The band of six young musicians has since then conquered the clubs and Serbian dance houses. Gráf Vivien (voice) and Babcsán Bence (saxophone, clarinet) join Poklade as guests on their second album.
