More and more talents emerge from this beautiful but rather small city that is going to be the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2010.

Takáts Eszter sings about her life, her feelings. It is described as urban folk, or alternativ rock. She is the composer and singer. U can find her on my space and she has her own website too.

She plays with Gumi Zsuzsi band from 8pm in Almássy Téri Szabadidő központ, that is located near Blaha and the New York Palace.

But serteinly impressive. It is hold in Budapest Papp László Sport Aréna every spring. Literaly hundreds of dance groups and music bands gather together from all Hungary and the former Hungarian lands like Transylvania, Vojvodina, Szlovakia, etc. The traditions are still alive in some regions, and they show it to the public in this huge festival. Also it has a market with traditional handcrafts like pottery, clothes, instruments, and of course books, records, etc.

The show goes on many stages, and they have folk-kocsma (folk-pub) where people just drink, dance, sing, talk.

My English friends said that in a folk fest in England he would expect just man with bears, and that is not very attractive, and he was surprised by the fact that mostly young people, teenagers, twentysomethings are presented, and of course every other generations too. He was also surprised that how many nice girls were there, and asked me it it is easy to socialise. Of course it is, if u know the dances, the songs, or can play some music!

U missed the festival this year, and yes i know it would be more useful if i write about up coming events rather then what happened, but this is just a report, not a program magazine. If u van program see this Budapest Guide!

What can i sence from this? Nothing. altough i have even played on this festival las weekend. Why do i say this?

Budapest Spring Fest is simply not a festival. It is a lot of event in a lot of place during a long period. It has theater, dance, jazz, folk, exhibitions etc. everithing but cohesion. These events has nothing in common. These events happen normaly too, the only change is that for a week every event has the brand “Budapest Spring Fest”

A festival a real one should be in one place, in a shorter time (max a week) around one theme (jazz festival, salsa festival, etc) but this Spring fest is just a chaos.

And actually that is all that is can write about it. It is not a festival. :)
