Hungarian Ensemble KAKIKS performed in Dehradun...!!!

A letter from HEADMASTER Selaqui International School...!!!



SPIC MACAY DEHRADUN, provided SelaQui International School the opportunity to play host to Hungarian percussion band,” Kákics”. The band was dressed in traditional Hungarian attire and carried instruments alien even to seasoned musicians. The Indian Traditions were ceremoniously conducted and revered by men foreign to our land, creating a bond even before the start of the program. The team comprised of Ákos Tárnok, Tibor Lendvai , Lajos Kiss, Árpád Horváth,and Norbert Nagy and used traditional instruments of countryside Hungary like double-bottomed Moldavian Csángó drum, hurdy-gurdy and the Gordon.

Artist honored by Headmaster at Selaqui International School 
The Multipurpose Hall was a tempest of applause and each performance was celebrated. Language seemed not to be a barrier while the melodies and the synchronized harmony had the audience enthralled. The icing on the cake was a dance gig performed by lead vocalist Akos Tarnok . Each piece was graced by a prelude read in English by Norbert Nagy with a tinge of Hungarian influence detailing the performance and also enlightening us about the instruments in use. Most of the song was influenced by strong rural settings and folk songs of Hungarian countryside dealing with love, separation and joy.  
The mesmerized audience was privileged to hear a presentation in addition to what the band had originally planned, as they were humbled by hospitality. Indeed it was an evening when one was transported to Hunger instantaneously, an evening when Music was “Manna” for SeQuins.

P.S:- Thank you so much Selaqui Internation School for your constant support. We look forward to many more concerts in your school.
