World music

Chris Miller, you might like this . . .

I was suprised to see the new formation of Bela Agoston, who was my college classmate at the University of Pecs. He already played all sorts of musical instruments then, but he mostly did Hungarian folk music. In this new formation he creates an exotic feeling by playing a steel drum. By the way, he is the first one in Hungary to do so. Oh, I love world music!!! Bela blends Caribbean music with Hungarian and Romanian folk music and who knows what else . . . but that makes it even more exciting. Click on the link above to see this amazing intersection of Caribbean and European folk music. You'll also catch a glimpse of the Hungarian language.

  1. I like this music alot because it seems very relaxing. I really am impressed that Bela is the first in Hungary to play the steel drum in his new Eurocaribbean genre.
