music for every night

i would like to teach you a very important word: ingyen. it means for free. the second word would be olcsó. it means cheap. now i will recommend you concerts ingyen or olcsó.

today, tuesday:

if you like folk music, but you prefer it for free and in a non-touristical way, you have to go to the pótkulcs (map), a small, but cozy and warm place, today berkó ensemble is playing, and you can count with dancing! listen to their music on their webpage.


ian siegal (A) will play also for free at gödör klub (map) from 9 pm. he seems to play blues and stuff.

i would recommend also budapest klezmer band at hilton dominican garden, but it costs 4900 huf (20 euro).


tomorrow, wednesday:

our favourite 30y will play from 8pm at zöld pardon (map). the entrance is 100 huf as usually, it really means 0,40 euro. if you wanna know something about hungarian alternative rock, you have to see them. and they are from pécs, the european cultural capital in 2010. that city is better in music than budapest.

grab the deck party at tűztate (map). i don't know anything about the music, but you have to see the place, it's in a dirty, old factory building and it's very cool. and it's also for free. if you prefer reggea, come here today, monday. love alliance special.

party people - zöld pardon

where to party on monday? well, i would recommend you zöld pardon (map and details) again. the concert is a lot of fun - if you speak hungarian. cause the sarcastic hip-hop band, the "belga" will be on scene from 8pm. but it's too early to party anyway, so you can catch the disco-part from 10pm. two stages, young boys and girl, what else do you want?
at this place tuesday is for rock, i'm not good in it, but the performer will be "guilty parties", a rage against the machine tribute band. enjoy, if you love this.
buuuut! on wednesday! the one and only "neo" will give the music under your feet. 8 pm again, don't miss it! an old but forever green song from them is "ranbo 13". they are in the electronic industry, as you can hear it.
thursday is also good, "heaven street seven", alternative soft indie or something like that, i'm really bad in these style-things, but whatever. i would recommend you the song "south america". you can come here if don't like kasabian. but if you do... man... then you should definitely go to the kasabian concert that time. but this deserves a new post. and i will tell you how to enjoy it if you don't have the money for the entrance ticket. stay tuned.

Balkan Fanatik concert

the longest summer festival - this is the slogan of zöld pardon (green pardon), a nice open-air place next to the danube. there are live concerts every day from 20:00, and the entry fee is just 100 ft (0,4 eur)! after the concerts you can dance on two different dancefloors.
you already missed the best concert of the week, which was pál utcai fiúk (PUF), but maybe it's not very interesting for foreigners - they are already history, you know.
but i can recommend friday's balkan fanatik. they mix balkan and hungarian folk music with electronic styles, well it's quite interesting.

so, 8th of june, 20:00, zöld pardon, balkan fanatik (map).
you can get there by tram #4, 6, the stop is called "petőfi híd, budai hídfő", it's in the bank of the river, so you can sit down staring the water while you drink your cheap wine or beer before the concert.
