25 years, two worlds
Greek-born Jorgos and producer Lepe fused folk music with electronics in 2002.
Where folk music turns electronic
Georgios Tzortzoglou and Gábor Lepés first met in 1999. In 2002 Jorgos called Lepe from Greece with the "million-dollar" idea: fuse Hungarian and Balkan folk music with a modern electronic sound.
Since then: ten albums, the Fonogram and Bezerédj awards, support slots for Public Enemy and The Prodigy, and concerts from Los Angeles to Beijing. The band still brings Carpathian-Basin folk to the stage, in a form made for today.
