Folk Bands and Artists
Cimbaliband
Budapest band Cimbaliband play insanely dynamic Hungarian and Balkan folk tunes, with spark-emitting fiddle melodies and cheeky songs sung by Hungarian X Factor winner Dóra Danics, underpinned by the unmistakeable bright bounce of the cimbalom, a kind of crazy hammered open piano. With Swing and Gypsy influences and a youthful approach to traditional music, Cimbaliband exude positive energy and larger than life cabaret style that will get your mood bouncing for a long time.
