An Open Embrace favorite will be back in the USA. The Hét Hat Club is an international
traveling Balkan folk and Gypsy Jazz ensemble based out of Budapest, Hungary. The
band plays traditional and traditionally inspired original vocal and
instrumental folk music from Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Turkey as
well as highly energetic Gypsy Jazz in the classic style of Django Reinhardt.
The band was formed a little over 3 years ago by
individual traveling street musicians who serendipitously met in Budapest and
decided to pursue this project due to their common passion and appreciation for
Balkan folk music. Since then, the band has played concerts, dances, weddings,
festivals and has toured in the USA and Europe. Additionally, they have
traveled extensively through the Balkans and Caucasus studying music and dance
from local village musicians.
This year’s formation of the band will include:
·
Kjartan Code (US): Vocals, Bass & Violin
·
Valentin Desmarais (FR): Saxophone
·
Bitó János (HU): Accordion
·
Isaac Misri (US): Guitar & Tambura
Cost: $34
