After having played in many free, pop and especially world music formations, Gergő Kováts felt that the time had come to explore the endless fields between folk music and jazz with his fellow musicians. The aim of Kovász, assembled for this scientific-fantastic expedition, is nothing less than to gradually replace its material, starting from the world of jazz and retaining its achievements, with elements of Carpathian Basin folk music culture. Máté Pozsár and Attila Gyárfás are inescapable figures of the free jazz scene, while Ábel Dénes has a well-established international reputation as a bilingual musician, having achieved major international successes with the Nagy Emma Quintet and Söndörgő. The group's first album will be released in February on BMC Records.
A wind from a fantasised Mexico blows and fans the flames of the quartet created by cellist Valentin Ceccaldi. Inspired by the taste of lemons and the mystical atmosphere of Dia de los Muertos, a brightly coloured, tangy and spicy music is played, shaken, shaped and triturated by Luís Lopes's guitar, Fulco Ottervanger's keyboards and Etienne Ziemniak's drums. Exploring our relationship with our ancestors as much as the explosiveness of the present, the four partners invite us to a pagan feast that celebrates contrasts, from caresses to uppercuts, from chaos to hugs, for a moment that's both sensitive and furious.
