🎼 Mérai (Uncle Sanyi Neti's melodies) mini concert
🎭 Presentation and teaching of Mérai dances with György Muszka and Ilona Muszka
...followed by an open dance house and folk pub at the Búgócsiga with music by Nemez Banda
🎻 Nemez Banda was formed in 2023, a 5-member Sopron folk music ensemble representing authentic Hungarian folk music and wanting to make it fashionable among young people. In their view, folk music is not the folklore of a bygone world that needs to be treated as something to be displayed according to the fashions of old times, but rather a musical world that modern people can claim as their own, just as they would pop or rock music. Ferenc Sebő once said: "Tradition does not need to be cared for, because it is not sick. It does not need to be guarded, because it is not imprisoned. Our traditions can only survive if we live them!" Nemez Banda also believes that every generation should experience folk music according to their own fashion and customs!
