Tcha Limberger violin, Istvan Ruszo violin, Norbert Olah brac, Szekfu Karoly cello, Vilmos Csikos double bass, Istvan Feher cimbalom, Csaba Lukacs clarinet, Vivi Limberger voice
In true Hungarian gypsy band style, bursts of soaring musical tragedy and czardas madness are delivered by this group with a passion and technical virtuosity that is astounding.
An accomplished multi-instrumentalist, the world class violinist Tcha Limberger comes from a famous family of Gypsy musicians and grew up with the Gypsy-jazz style of Django Reinhardt.
Drawn to Hungarian gypsy music from an early age, he spent three years studying its roots in Budapest. Now just 30, he tours with this small orchestra of hand-picked Budapest Gypsy musicians and there is no band playing in Budapest who commands such respect. Tcha, son of the great Vivi Limberger, joins a selection of top Gypsy musicians from Budapest on their debut UK tour presenting the style of music known as Magyar Nota – passionate music as familiar to Hungary as Tarantella is to Neapolitans and Fado to the Portuguese. Literally translated it means Hungarian Song but it is mostly associated with the Budapest Café music made famous by the Lakatos dynasty.
