Resilience in Harmony: A Note from the Band
In the midst of global turmoil, our band emerged as a robust force, surmounting challenges and uncertainties. In the chaos, our music became the catalyst for hope and inspiration. We remained steadfast in our commitment to our craft as the resonance illuminated the darkness, reigniting our collective spirit. In less than 24 hours, in Budapest, we harnessed the power of our musical synergy. Crafting an unforgettable testament to resilience and creativity, with Chris Potter’s special guest appearance adding a unique dimension to our album.
The album embodies the transformative power of music, offering solace and inspiration to all who seek refuge in its melodies. We extend our deepest gratitude to Chris Potter for his extraordinary talent. His involvement in making music together with us is one of the greatest honors in the band’s history. For embarking on this journey with us, special thanks to you, our listeners. May our
music serve as a guiding light through life’s turbulent waters.
Söndörgő short biography:
The primordial nature of traditional music, the sophistication of classical compositions, the energies of rock music and the purity of Bartók’s thinking characterize the Hungarian band Söndörgő, one of the most exciting, innovative and successful bands on the international world music scene. When Söndörgő was formed more than a quarter of a century ago, the members were still children and practically grew up along with the band. Four of the five members are part of the same family of musicians: three brothers (Aaron, Benjamin and Salamon Eredics) and a cousin (David Eredics). Their spiritual backbone is the legendary Vujicsics Ensemble, which has been playing authentic South Slavic folk music for close to fifty years: father and uncle figures,
along with other Eredics musicians. Thus, in accordance with Zoltán Kodály’s ideals, the musical education of the members of Söndörgő began nine months before their birth.
“The year 2024 marked a pivotal turning point for the band, ushering in a new era of growth and creative exploration. With the signing of a groundbreaking record deal with esteemed label Ground Up Music, the band set the stage for the much-anticipated release of their transformative album “Gyezz” in the summer of the same year, featuring the illustrious jazz saxophonist Chris
Potter. Amidst this period of profound evolution, the band also embarked on an exciting partnership with the forward-thinking management team at 3S Music.”
