We went to an orchestral rehearsal at the 100 -member Gypsy Orchestra

Who would believe what kind of musical life was going on in the secluded Pestújhely cultural center? But this is the case: after having to leave the scandalous circumstances for four years Their Wesselényi street test roomHere the musicians are trying to steam. We went through the hallway of the slightly social community center, opened the big door of one of the halls, and as we looked at the musical miracle. In the room, a part of the 100 -member Gypsy Orchestra, unique in the world, tried, and we were filled with energy and vitality from musical instruments and musicians. Although I was never a more serious fan of Gypsy music or Hungarian song, this feeling of life was immediately captivated and cheerful.

They were just trying Hungarian dance and they played without a sheet of shells, since the world -famous band One of his « trademarks » is that he always knows everything. Then, when the woe giggled, the kitten’s gigantic hits from the queen of the tavern, he had to smile with the singers with a smile with the singers. The special sound includes that they were playing very accurately and without improvisation, but in every melody they had the Roma heart and soul. The renowned opera and operetta singer, Mónika Fischl, first came to Nóta in her life, although she has been on stage with the 100-member Gypsy Orchestra.

– I was delighted to welcome the invitation of the band leader Lőrinc Danyi. At first I thought I would represent the operetta line. For the first time in my life, I sang a Hungarian song in public, waiting excitedly. There are so many hearts and so many sincere souls in the song that it becomes extremely special. It requires the same professional perception and attitude, at most the way the presentation is different. Fantastic genre to be reached! Mónika, who also performed Strauss Rosalinda tavern, said enthusiastically.

Róbert Danyithe president and primate of the 100-member Gypsy Orchestra played and toured as a member of the band in 1992.

– I later made some detours in restaurant music, and from 2010 I am constantly here in this huge family. We cry together, laugh together. We have been playing together since our childhood, knowing the other movements and feelings. There is a tremendous amount of cohesiveness, a huge privilege to play here, as the world’s largest Gypsy band is 100 -member, the most talented Roma musicians, ”said Róbert Danyi, whose double bassist gave the violin at the age of five.

« I was able to play the violin before reading a score, because they sat down against my violinist grandfather, who was playing for me, and I understood how to pull and copied his movements. » Of course, my son became a primate, and he also has a place for the 100 -member Gypsy Orchestra, explains the band leader.

It is incredible, but since 1985, the band has been playing in the band for 40 years, József Horváth, a primate violin teacher, whose son is also playing with him.

– I never longed for it, because the primate king, my master Lajos Boros, called me to the band at that time. On the other hand, we play three -hour classic pieces without a sheet music, with plenty of practice and the instinct of Gypsy musicians. Even the symphonic bands can’t do all this, he said.

Márton Maneszes, the creator of the Hungaricum cavalcade, said that the three pillars of the show, the Hungarian song, Gypsy music and the operetta are a shortage in the country, but also worldwide.

– Even talent researchers ban these genres, even though people love it. I believe where the Hungarians go around the world, their hearts are softened and their desire for home, because this music is theirs, ours! he thought.

The beautiful cellist of the band, Éva Lázár, came from a classical music career for the 100 -member Gypsy Orchestra.

– I have been playing between them for ten years, and as a woman I had to do twice as much as to recognize. I feel like it succeeded. The boys love and respect, blessing that we play together here, said the cellist. – I also kept my traditional female roles: my adult daughter is an actor and my son is also on a music career. I wish us many more exciting and valuable years, together with the 100 -member Gypsy Orchestra!
