Tindia Dance House – guest: Szélműves
From September, a new regular dance house series starts at the Fonó: the Tindia Dance House, which welcomes audiences every month with special guests and new musical encounters.
With this we would like to create occasions where the dance house reveals itself as a living, continuously evolving community space, and where alongside traditional dance house atmosphere, innovative formations from the musical world take shape.
Tindia began its career in 2015 in the Moldavian dance houses and folk pubs of a popular Budapest café. Over the more than a decade since then, the band has developed considerably while preserving the unbridled dance house momentum that has defined it from the start.
Their music, rooted at the border between folk and world music, is made truly distinctive by intensely present feminine energy, freely expressed humour and instinctive musicality. Their line-up is also a rarity in the Hungarian folk music scene: five women and one man make up the ensemble, which brings a special sensitivity and dynamism to their sound. They draw inspiration primarily from Moldavian folk music, which they transform with their own sonic world and instrumentation – the essence of this is audible on their two albums and the songs they have released since.
The special power of Moldavian dances lies in the communal experience. No prior dance knowledge is needed: it is easy to join in the simple, repetitive steps, and the music and the community moving together in the circle carries you forward almost by itself. There is no star in the circle – everyone is an equal part of what unfolds on a given evening.
Szélműves
Szélműves is one of the most exciting domestic representatives of fanfare Balkan joie de vivre. The heart of their music is Moldavian Csángó folk music, seasoned with southeast European Romanian, Roma and Jewish melodies, and original ideas.
Life-affirming tight rhythms, crisp tuba accompaniment and sweeping brass processions in a rolling cavalcade, dressed up with accordion and koboz, crowned with multi-part female singing. Ancient topicality, modern expression alongside respect for musical roots, which stands its ground hitting both the feet and the ears, regardless of age.
