Also known for her work as an ethnographic researcher, the Kossuth Prize-winning artist Irén Lovász first appeared on the 1986 album Táncháztalálkozó (‘Hungarian Dance House Meeting'), on which she sang with Téka, and made her first albums - 1995's Világfa (‘World Tree') and 1996's Rosebuds in a Stoneyard - together with László Hortobágyi. She was then featured on several excellent CDs from Makám (Skanzen, 9 colinda, Szindbád) and collaborated with other artists (such as the Czecho-Slovakian Teagrass, e-jam, and Attila Lőrinszky). In addition to her other solo albums, she launched her large-scale album series Gyógyító hangok, (‘Healing Voice') in 2006, which has reached its fourth and final chapter in 2023. "The closing piece of the four-part album series is the album Gyógyító hang (‘Healing Voice'). This is the summary and essence of everything I think about the healing role and contemporary use of singing folk songs rooted in the national tradition and spoken in the mother tongue,” says Lovász, whose main co-creator this time around was the talented young producer/singer Дeva. Joining the two of them on the stage at the record release concert will be the outstanding musicians who contributed to it: Miklós Lukács, Kornél Horváth, Zoltán Lantos, Béla Ágoston, Zoltán Mizsei, and Ágnes Pintér. We can look forward to an evening of healing with this rich list of names.
