Fanfara Complexa Ensemble
The Fanfara Complexa ensemble was established as a dance-house band in 2002, and has since been a permanent participant at dance-house events and clubs in Budapest and in the countryside. The music they play is based on an authentic Moldavian Csángó-Hungarian folk music and the new style of szerba, hora and manele tunes. Their last album Radio Popular (2011) is mainly a selection of the above mentioned music.

For the past ten years they have been taking part of the Somoska Village Days, where they participate in the life of the village and can play and learn music in a Moldavian milieu. Learning from Moldavian musicians such as the saxophonist Paun Ionel and the kobza player Paun Vasile every summer, this milieu is their main source of inspiration.

At their concerts and dance-house clubs they play a characteristic and dynamic music that is mainly inspired by the folk music tradition of the Moldavian part of Rumania, amd by the Csángó, Serbian, Bulgarian, Turkish and Jewish tradition. They have discovered for themselves a rather colourful section of the Hungarian world music scene.
