Roma Song Day Concerts in Ten Hungarian Cities
The International Roma Song Day is being held for the third time this year in fifteen venues across six countries on Aug 8, and this year celebrates all kinds of styles from flamenco, Balkan brass bands, to gypsy jazz.

Mihály “Mazsi” Rostás, the event’s artistic director, told a press conference the day will celebrate the diversity of Gypsy music with legendary Roma and non-Roma artists, with 260 performers giving concerts in ten Hungarian cities and five foreign locations.

The longer term aim is to bring the event to every EU member state, he added. Concerts will be held in the courtyard of the Benczúr House in Budapest, while other Hungarian venues include Százhalombatta, Szentendre, Veszprém and Pécs.

Roma Song Day will also be celebrated in Jerez de la Frontera in Spain, Štúrovo (Párkány) in Slovakia, Târgu Mureș (Marosvásárhely) in Romania, Burgas in Bulgaria and the German capital, Berlin.

Busójárás festival in Mohács stands out as one of the most significant and widely recognised traditions here, earning it a coveted spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This year more than seventy Busó groups will mark the winter solstice in Hungary, with a record number of 2500 masked individuals celebrating between 8 -13 February.
