Kobza Vajk group

Kobza Vajk is one of the remarkable performers of the contemporary oriental and improvisational world music scene in this country. In the intersection of the music of this formation, in addition to their own compositions, medieval and Renaissance melodies can be heard, which are permeated by the freedom of improvisation and the oriental soundscape of the Middle East. The band’s unconventional instrumentation, exclusively instrumental performance, and approach to music as a ritual make the band special on an international level as well. Their vision is to leave the genre classification behind and raise the music that is born in the present moment to a higher level. At the concert, Kobza also draws from Vajk’s previous records, while the first sounds of the upcoming songs will probably be heard here for the first time. Their performance is a conscious, unique journey into the familiar unknown. Listening to their concert is like Ada Kaleh – the sunken island in the lower Danube – rising again from the foam. The band’s new line-up was presented in Budapest at the House of Hungarian Music in the fall of 2024.
