Brilliant musicians, fantastically individual singers, wonderful songs: this is Budapest Bár's recipe for success. Since the band led by Róbert Farkas was formed, it has become a favourite across generations. Dusting off many old songs, breathing new life into forgotten tunes and presenting familiar ones in a new guise, the band's shows are a meeting of many generations and cultures, which perhaps explains why they are adored by young and old alike. The year 2014 has been one of renewal an...d innovation for Budapest Bár. April saw the release of their eagerly awaited new album Húszezer éjszakás kaland, featuring both covers and some of their own songs, from which the title track quickly became a summer hit.
Húszezer éjszakás kaland is set to be followed in October 2014 by a new Budapest Bár album, a more melancholy record containing both Hungarian tunes from the recent past and a few covers of big favourites from abroad (both records will bear the subtitle Volume 5, signalling that they are to be regarded as two halves of a related double album).
Anyone who has attended the band's concerts recently will know that, besides their passion for the 1920s and 1930s, they are increasingly dipping into the pool of emblematic rock and pop hits of the more recent past, covering songs by Tom Waits, Simon & Garfunkel, Nick Cave, LGT, David Bowie and even Depeche Mode. And let's face it, this is not typical of a Gypsy band.
Budapest Bár also welcomed another new singer in 2014 in the shape of Misi Mező. The Magna Cum Laude singer also takes to the stage at this concert, where the band will of course perform not only songs from this year's new albums but many old favourites too.
