Khanci Dos (No problem) Budapest Band

The band has been formed in 1987 at Nagyecsed (North�Eastern Hungary)
actually having more than 10 years long history. At the beginning we
interpreted the songs of the local Roma/Gipsy community. Two of our
tapes are already published at Cebus Kft.

The band was awarded twice on folk-music festival. We personally are
representing the culture of the three main Romani groups living in
Hungary the so-called Romungro, the Vlach Romas and Boyash Romas.

Our main goal is to create the base of an intercultural and
multicultural society between the Roma and the majority people, to
give a good example for anyone how we can reduce the prejudices
through a very specific language which is ... the MUSIC.

We play Hungarian, Russian, Romanian, Balkan and Greek Romani musics.

The band would like to distribute this treasure in all around the
world. If your organisation organize a festival please invite us, or
if you invite us to make a tour we go with pleasure.

Or if you have an acquantaince who may be interested in this topic,
please, forward this e-mail for him or her.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Cordialy,
Valeria Bodoczky

I want to ask you if you are interested. If you do, please contact me
on my e-mail address:

Best regards to everybody,
