Tárkány Művek

Formed in 2009 the sound of the band is a fusion of chanson music from between the two World Wars, folk music and jazz, creating a unique musical universe.

Their first album ’You Etched Your Face in Mine’ (Arcomba az arcod vésted) was released in 2010. Thanks especially to the song ’Chee-ree-reep’ (Csiririp) the band immediately created its own myth among young city dwellers. Lead by the cimbalom player Bálint Tárkány-Kovács the band’s repertoire is mainly inspired by traditional folk melodies interpreted by a particular instrumentation, with the beautiful voice of Julianna Paár adding to the magic. Tárkány Művek has created a bridge between ages, styles, geographical regions, between modernity and tradition – one almost wishes never to arrive onto either shore that bridge might lead.
