A BALEK

As he gives concerts ever more rarely, it is an honour to welcome Bonga, one of the first great stars of world music, to Müpa.

Dés. For decades a byword for excellence on the Hungarian music scene. A considerable number of musicals, film scores, major hits and jazz albums is attached to his name. His best-known songs include Nagy utazás, Vigyázz rám, Olyan szépek voltunk, Legyen úgy and Mi vagyunk a grund. In addition to these popular songs, performed with invited guest artists and an excellent band, we will also hear new compositions. An evening on which music becomes at once a celebration, a reunion and an unforgettable experience.

Emmet Cohen has clearly got what it takes. It goes without saying that he is a brilliant pianist who knows to strike a chord with his fellow musicians – legendary figures such as Ron Carter and Benny Golson, leading artists of today like Joshua Redman and Christian McBride, and even the bright hopes of tomorrow, such as Samara Joy and Mejdi Owens – and how to connect with his audience, whether in a jazz club, a concert hall, or online.
