Söndörgő

Söndörgő is a Hungarian band known for its dynamic and intricate take on Balkan and South Slavic folk music, particularly from the Serbian and Croatian communities in Hungary. Formed in the late 1990s by a group of friends from the same family, Söndörgő specializes in the tambura, a traditional string instrument, setting them apart in the vibrant landscape of Eastern European roots music. Their sound is fast-paced, rhythmically complex, and often infused with a contemporary energy that appeals to both traditional folk fans and modern world music audiences.

The group has earned a strong international following for their virtuosic playing and high-energy performances. They’ve released several acclaimed albums, including "Tamburocket: Hungarian Fireworks" and "Nyolc 8 Nyolc," showcasing their ability to blend deep cultural roots with inventive arrangements. Söndörgő remains dedicated to keeping lesser-heard musical traditions alive while also pushing their possibilities into exciting new territory.
