Nine musicians from the Ukrainian Carpathians - this is the HUDAKI Village Band.
They are the masters of the alchemy of musically vibrating happiness. In the 20 years that the band has been performing at hundreds of festivals and concert halls across Europe, they have learned to make their archaic, nighttime moments of happiness accessible to the uninitiated. In the Maramures region, a mountainous area in southwestern Ukraine bordering Romania and Hungary, the village musicians are called Hudaki.
Various ethnic musical influences make the traditional music diverse and unique. Archaic Slavic vocal traditions, Romanian melodies, Jewish rhythms and Romani temperament blend into a local cross culture that has evolved over centuries of living side by side.
Admission: from 7:30 p.m. Start: 8 p.m. Entrance fee: 10-14-16€ (based on self-assessment)
