The explosive melting pot of the American dance idioms – varying from jazz, funk to hip-hop – in the direct collision with the unrestrained Balkan decadence of Felix’s new trio.

It seems that the career of Lajkó Felix was always dedicated to breaking stereotypes and prejudices, both personal and musical, connected to the idioms of the classical music, jazz and ethno. This fight against, both life and performing clichés has led him past various Scyllas and Charybdises in the career, including a serious breaking of academic delusions on how his instrument, the violin, should and must sound. His career remained marked by the brilliant moments of condensed energy of incredible musical skill and personal decadence, both independent ones and those immortalized by cooperation with individuals like Boban Marković and Alexander Balanescu. His latest album "Remény" (Hope), released in 2007 for the Hungarian production house "Tilos" will have its Belgrade premiere.

Brooklyn Funk Essentials are the kings of the New York black eclecticism, the epicenter of mutual permeation of acid jazz, funk and hip-hop, based on the street culture of the Big Apple. The bend was formed in 1993, led by the legendary producer Arthur Baker and the musical director Lati Kronlund. Their debut album "Cool and Steady and Easy" (1994) is one of the most impressive first albums of the black music of the nineties. The interpretation of the jazz classic "The Creator Has a Master Plan" of Pharaoh Sanders largely contributed to it. Their next album "In the Buzz Bag" (1998) introduced certain Oriental elements, through cooperation with the Turkish instrumentalists like Hüsnü Şenlendirici (the clarinet). The latest album "Make ‘Em Like It" (2000) combines the jazz, funk, salsa, R’n’B, ska, hip-hop in a typical New York mixture, dominated by humor, communication and positive vibrations of the relaxed street poetry.

Expect the surprises and an encore!
