Fonograf Ensemble

Fonográf Ensemble was a hugely popular Hungarian rock band active primarily in the 1970s. Known for their catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and sophisticated arrangements, they blended progressive rock elements with Hungarian folk influences. The band featured prominent musicians like Levente Szörényi and Gábor Presser, who went on to have successful solo careers and also formed the equally beloved band Locomotiv GT. Albums like "Fonográf" and "FG-4" cemented their place in Hungarian music history, and songs like "Menetrend" and "Jelenkor" remain classics to this day.

While Fonográf officially disbanded in the early 80s, they've reunited for occasional concerts and special projects over the years, much to the delight of their devoted fans. Their music continues to resonate with new generations, demonstrating the enduring power of their songwriting and performance.
