SÖNDÖRGÖ : Band of brothers in celebration of Hungarian roots
Building from delicate filigree patterns of intertwining strings to dazzling displays of furious fingerwork, Söndörgö (say: shoen-doer-goe) bring a vigorous virtuosity to their fresh interpretations of Hungarian folk music. At the core of their sound is the tambura, a mandolin-like instrument in many sizes, embellished through multi-instrumental skills on assorted wind instruments and accordion. The band got together in 1995 when brothers Aron, Benjamin and Salamon teamed up with cousin David and high-school pal Attila. They've been honing their impressive musicianship ever since, gathering international momentum over five albums – the latest aptly titled 'Tamburocket' - and perfecting the art of bringing audiences to their feet with simply brilliant acoustic folk music.
