Ifj. Szerényi Béla - Bogár Imre balladája (The ballad of Imre Bogár) - YouTube

Published on Dec 27, 2015 by Béla Szerényi 

Bogár Imre az ország egyik leghíresebb lovas betyárja volt. Róla szól az egyik legközismertebb betyárballada, aminek rengeteg változatát gyűjtötték országszerte. Ifj. Szerényi Béla a ballada dallamát megtartva bontja ki hangzásvilágát különleges hangszereléssel. A szólóhangszer a tekerő, az akkordokat a még új fejlesztésű dulzither szolgáltatja. Szerényi Béla hangszerkészítő mester fejlesztette ki és építette ezt az olyan citerát, mely már lehetővé teszi az akkordok fogását is. *

* Imre Bogár was one of the most popular highwayman in Hungary. This song is about his life and death. Jr. Béla Szerényi use a really interesting instrumenttion. The solo instrument is the hurdy-gurdy, but the accords are made by a new-expansioned instrument: Dulzither, which is a hungarian zither, but we can play accords by it as well. This instrument is expansioned and made by Béla Szerényi

Help Robert keep #HGWeekly going! - GoFundMe

My hope here is to recover a portion of my expenses for the purchase of a new laptop, and so have something to live on for a little while.

As a hurdy-gurdy enthusiast, it has become a wonderful hobby for me to be publishing The Hurdy Gurdy Weekly . While it was never my intention to make any money from this endeavour, I put a fair amount of energy into it, and basically had to buy a new computer in order to continue this (along with some other purposes, of course). This could be "phase one" of my larger, evolving plan...

If you like what I do, I could use your support. Please know that I appreciate your consideration very much!

Le Son Continu 2015
Published on Nov 29, 2015 by Ian Mackay
I have put together some highlights of 'Le son continu' music festival that took place in the grounds of Chateau d'Ars during July 2015. The location is about 180 miles (300km) south of Paris. The festival, which lasted for four days, was centred around 130 musical instrument makers and sellers. Fortunately, their trade stands were spread out in the shade of the trees in the chateau grounds, because it was hot and sunny every day! In addition, there were dances, evening concerts, presentations by the instrument makers, competitions and lots of informal music sessions. The aim of my video is to give you an idea of what the festival is all about. The organisation was superb, the food and drinks were great, the people were so nice and the sun shone every day! What more could you want! (Uploaded on 28 November 2015)

Salut! Voici ma video du festival. J'espere que vous l'apprecierez!
