It's been 1,5 years since we started to perform with our cross-border project: FadHúngaro.
After I'd moved to Portugal in 2017 I started to realize that a kind of cultural bridge between Hungary and Portugal lives in me. Bringing my heritage, the Hungarian folk songs to the famous fado houses of Lisbon made me realize: people resonate with their deepest emotions through both genre - regardless of the language.
As I've been saying ever since: fado is Portuguese, but the pain in universal.
This is how our blended project was born: with a Hungarian singer and Portuguese musicians, playing a merge between Central-Eastern European folklore and Portuguese solitude.
Since then we had more than 20 performances in 3 countries, so in 2023 it was timely to record an EP, to showcase what we do at our live concerts.
This EP is being published on the 8th of November, 18h UTC.
