The weekend in Budapest starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. So for the first day of the weekend, you'd better find yourself something to do...

Kampec Dolores, Zuboly (Concert)

MUPA, 22nd January, 19:30, 1100-3100Ft
Komor Marcell u. 1 [map]
Pest South, IX Millenniumi Kulturális Központ (T2) 3 min


Highly recommended by "a German daily paper", Kampec Dolores ask, "Is this music a kind of virtual world music?" The answer is, of course, "What???" A meld of Jazz and Folk, 23 years touring, and some far-out vocals, makes for an interesting evening. Mainstream it isn't.

Zuboly is possibly the only band in the world to combine bagpipes with a human beat-box or two - and if you want to put them in a box, write "broken ethno" on it and everyone can go home happy. Their MySpace here.

Official info here.
