Barabás Lőrinc Eklektric
Orchestra, choir, ensemble
Barabás Lõrinc Eklektric was founded in Budapest in November, 2005 - at the right place in the right time. The head of the band, trumpeter Lõrinc Barabás has demonstrated his talent in several bands and styles (Irie Maffia, Soulwhat, The Uptown Felaz), not just in Hungary, but also around Europe and further away.
With enough experience behind him, he decided to go his own way, accompanied by excellent musicians. Their newly formed band literally blasting into Budapest club life bodes well, exceptional interest and appreciation characterize their concerts. Their fast-growing regular audience consists both from acknowledged jazz artists from the academy and city youngsters wearing loose pants.
The sound of eklektric can be understood as a combination of styles represented by Lõrinc Barabás earlier (jazz, hiphop, dub, reggae, french house, experimental, electronica etc.) Once we hear the sensitive trumpet of Truffaz, then the cool of Miles Davis looms up embedded in modern beats, but we can not be surprised on Eric Satie motifs either. Rap and spoken word go together with the above so naturally that instead of a multi cultural cacophony we get a mature, authentic sound, which is quite new in Hungary.
The band, with its eklektric sound shows contemporary but also commonly comprehensible jazz forms at the same time.
Further members of the band: Márton Élő (DJ, mpc); Kemon (rap); MC Sena (rap)
