Sena Performers International Jazz Laureate Festival 2024: Vertigo Colelctive

Founded in early 2020, Hungarian Vertigo Collective creates a musical fusion of jazz and Hungarian folk music. While blending soundscapes of contemporary jazz into their own compositions, the band’s affinity for authentic folk music has always been an important factor in cultivating and keeping alive the tradition of Hungarian and Eastern European folk music. Vertigo Collective is presented by partner Babel Sound, a festival and cultural platform that aims to be an interactive meeting point for diverse cultures and art forms, as well as for artists and their audiences.
Line-up:
Gergely Pázmándi - saxophone
Helga Debreczeni-Kis - zither
Zoltán Hegyi - bass
Márton Szilágyi - drums
