Album HU 2014 on Fonó Records label
Folk (Folk, Népzene)
The music of Bazseva is energetic, delicate and impressive at the same time. The two vocalists’ different styles can complete each other astonishingly, the band’s knowledge of creative scoring is simply brilliant. Bazseva band was formed by six young folk musicians in Budapest. In Roma languages the word ”bazseva” means making music, or a jam session. Members of the band are well-known musicians: Júlia Paár(vocal), Endre Papp (viola), András Bognár (doublebass) are all members of Tárkány Művek, another world music band. Sára Horváth (vocal) from Magyarvista Social Club has also joined the group, as did Tamás Nyitrai (violin) - a professor at Liszt Academy, and Dániel Szabó on the cimbalom. They created this album by sampling from authentic folk musicrecordings. The result is a representation of the colourful musical traditions of the Carpathian Basin. The members have chosen folk music as their way of self-expression. In their opinion folk music is just as much part of urban culture as jazz, rock, or hip-hop is. As young city dwellers, they use folk music as their mother tongue in music, so to speak. They prefer to stay away from all the cliches that outwardly present one as a folk music-lover. They only want to show the ancient power and force of folk music.
