Shaking up the city<br />
Budapest Ritmo festival brings the stars of world music<br />
Who said festival season should end with summer? Meet world music artists from more than 20 countries and enjoy<br />
live gigs, and unique productions between Hungarian and foreign artists at Akvárium Klub. The organizer of the<br />
festival is Hungarian music label Hangvető, which promotes local and international world music artists, and the<br />
Café Budapest Festival. This year’s performers include - amongst others - Czech band Ponk, the local group Söndörgő<br />
performing together with the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, and French pianist and composer Christophe Chassol on the 6th.<br />
Spanish Pere Martínez plays flamenco with a twist, while Jawhar’s and Mitsou’s performance mixes Arabic ballads and<br />
gipsy folk songs on the 7th. On the last day of the festival, visitors can see Serbian Boris Kovač, Hungarian Mónika Lakatos<br />
& Mihály Rostás perform, while the Malabi Tropical brings their signature tropical Caribbean and Middle Eastern tunes.<br />
