Sajba - Electronic based worldmusic from Hungary

Sajba is a Hungarian ethno-ambient, electronic - acoustic, psy-folk group, founded in 2020 by three musicians from different genres (a world-music singer/multi-instrumentalist, an electronic music producer/guitarist and a jazz drummer)

They are using traditional (flutes, kaval, bagpipe, jaw-harp, saz, bouzouki, shaman-drum) and electronic (synths, synth percussion, e-drums and sequencers) instruments, from ambient-like deep pads, through downtempo neofolk, till psy-trance based folk-songs with powerful vocals on the top.

Influents: Dead Can Dance, Pink Floyd, Heilung, Wardruna, Shpongle, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Vágtázó Halottkémek, Hans Zimmer, Faithless and folklore

Our name, Sajba, means a very unique tradition in Hungary and is played in darkness with a wooden disk. The name comes from the German word Die Scheibe (disk). This game is only known in a few sváb (german-hungarian) villages, like: Kismaros, Nagymaros

Their style is a mixture of new and old, technological and instinctive, mechanic and human. Lots of their lyrics are written by themselves but they play Hungarian folk-songs and poems in their own concept.

Their debut album called ‘Tűzkör’ with 12 songs including ‘Ősapám’ a drum&bass based track with Attila József’s poems lyrics. This song has an official music video which has been selected to the competition of   https://klipszemle.com/
