"Hungarian fusioneers more than
merely 'Stayin' Alive'

Pimasz cuts a distinctive voice for the Kerekes Band: an irresistible groove of tumbling bass lines, driving drums and wildly spiraling flute riffs."
Songlines magazine

Kerekes call it 'Ethno Funk', it is their contemporary interpretations of songs derived from Csango Hungarian folk music.

From band:
Formed in Eger in 1995 Kerekes became a well-known dance-house band across Hungary and have had a regular dance-house in Eger since 1997.

Kerekes have been influenced by contemporary music styles from around the world and now compose and perform a more modern and freestyle form of their own music with definite influences from their Balkan neighbours, Serbia, Romania & Turkey.

Kerekes Band originally played traditional roots and folk music from Gyimes and Moldova and spent many of their early years playing and studying with the masters of Hungarian traditional music, especially Viktor and János Timár from Gyimes, with whom they learnt and collected over 250 folk- tunes, and with whom they learnt the craft of making music for dance."
