Apparently, I am now famous around the summer university for my dancing.
I went to a music festival last week on Thursday with some of my classmates and we saw this great band, "Kerekes Band." I am now totally smitten - I've never seen a group lay down an amazing groove, totally danceable, with hypnotic psychedelic overtones, using Hungarian folk-tunes as the lyrical and musical basis. The instrumentation is amazing - penny whistles, flutes, and recorders, lutes, a violin, bass and drums. And man they rocked!!! It was so great. I danced my butt off.
And of course one of my classmates recorded me on her camera, and then showed some other folks the next day. And now I'm the most famous dancer at Nyari Egyetem. I don't mind really, but it's a little strange.
Here is the link for Kerekes Band: www.kerekesband.hu/
My favorite thing about the site: their tag-line:
"The tunes preferred by 9 out of 10 betyars!"
Amazing!
