Romengo is travelling to Korea in the end of September for Sori Festival (JEONJU) and for Ulsan Worl 

 Dear Friends!

 
First of all, we are sorry for not sending you news so far though we should have things to share with you. 
On Romengo's Facebook site we countinously share events and experiments around Romengo.
I hope you could get some information from us on our FB site.
We travelled a lot in 2016 and it's not finished yet.
We have been more times to Germany, Slovakia, France, Slovenia, Norway, Check Republic, India and we still have more concerts in Germany and Switzerland left but you also can meet us at home, for example at Velence Lake Percussion Festival, Music Academy. 
You can find more information on our website under Concert diary.
 
Now, I would like to share a good news with you.
 
Romengo is travelling to Korea in the end of September for Sori Festival (JEONJU) and for Ulsan World Music Festival (Ulsan) to give concerts. 
We are quite excited what experiance we would collect there. We are also very curious about how the Korean public will accept the Hungarian Olah Gypsy music and if you know anything about the Hungarian and Gypsy culture and also if they will do the mouth drum with us and what it will be like to play together with them. 
I promise that we will write a longer story of our expreiance as we did after our tour in India. 
 
I hope you had a nice sommer holiday and will meet soon at one of our concerts.
 
All the bests since then: DÉVLÉSZÁ:

New Project! Mónika Lakatos & Juan DE Lerida! 

  Two types of music – One soul

 

Water, bread, hands – these are the only words left in common in the language of Hungarian Lakatos Mónika’s and Spanish Juan De Lerida’s and their bands. Together with other gypsy tribes appearing in Europe in the 16th century and then spreading to the four winds, both Móni’s and Juan’s ancestors enriched their music with tunes of surrounding nations. As part of the Spanish and Hungarian cultures they have all along preserved that elemental force and subtlety that captivates lovers of gypsy music even today. This attachment to traditions and musical sincerity are the very things through which these two performing geniuses meet on stage like siblings who have not seen each other for a long time, still feel every vibration of the other. The elegance of Flamenco and the power of Czardas make this unparalleled gypsy duo’s and their bands’ performance exceptional, which aims to bridge the stages of the European continent and their audiences.
