Sajba album presentation concert - A38
Walking in the heart of mother nature, in the depths of spacious forests, in the footsteps of our ancestors, the Sajba band opens an ethereal door for the attentive listener, through which someone, a familiar figure from long ago, appears.
Coming from the stretches of the Börzsöny and the wave crests of the Danube, the trio plays traditional and electronic instruments, builds on folk and modern musical motifs, and stomps on metal strings wrapped in synth carpets woven into booming bass lines. In their text world, they create a bridge between past, present and future by working with striking images.
Their latest record is imbued with some kind of primal power, like the streams that shape the landscapes bit by bit or the flooded rivers that sweep everything away. Like the frost that breaks up the clods of the earth or the sun that ripens the seed.
Members of Sajba:
Mika Heinczinger - vocals, saz, clarinet, bass flute, kaval, hum, goat bagpipes, snare drum
Néder Lackó - synthesizers, programming, bouzuki, guitar
Marci Orosz - drums, digeridoo, throat singing
Economy Bass & Madamas
Their musical chemistry is characterized by the energy boiling in the metal pipes, vibrating on the bass strings, rich in the spontaneity of the live act, and the driving momentum. Two musicians, Laci Heigl (Ekonomi Bass) and Ádi Munkácsi (Madamas), who are lovers not only of their acoustic instruments, but also of the waves of the frequency range of their electronic gadgets, thus releasing the spirit of the dj that resides in them from their Pandora's Box. If you like the power of the primal experience of a live act, you will especially love this formation.
László Heigl – double bass, bass guitar, keyboard
Ádám Munkácsi – flute, saxophone, synthesizer
