Sunday, Sunday here again, in tidy attire; you read the colour supplement, the TV guide... and, of course, there's nothing on. Going out is your best bet...

Modern Art Orchestra (Concert)

Take Five, 7th December, 20:00
Paulay Ede u. 2 [map]
An eighteen piece orchestra, sometimes drifting towards the contemporary but at their best with the more traditional big band sound. Accomplished, certainly.

Check out the review in our culture section here.

Ghalia Benali & Romano Drom
(Concert)
Millenáris [map] 7th December, 21:00, 2500Ft
Tunisian singer, Ghalia Benali trades her flamenco guitars and Arabian drums for the reliably lively rumba and jazz-tinged gypsy music of Romano Drom. Check out Ghalia on Youtube.

Chalte Chalte / Se veled se nélküled (Film)
Örökmozgó [website], 7th December, 19:00
It is impossible to drive from the island of Mykonos to Athens but don't let that put you off getting a taste of Bollywood in Budapest. English subtitles. Trailer here. IMDB here.
