In the beginning, they played Hungarian folk music. Today, Mid - East and South - European music, as well as folk and classical ones meet in the Ghymes group music. Their particular style gradually developed and now their music reflects tenderness, glamour, romantic but also howling surge of energy. Their rhythm became even stricter and harder than before. In addition to the traditional instruments (violin, viola, dulcimer, bagpipes, contrabass, lute, kalabash zither, Turkish pipe), saxophone, drums and synthesizer are also often used. They have been on their way to WORLD MUSIC, when the new style, GHYMES MUSIC, was born. Milos Janousek, a music publicist and a critic wrote that if Stravinsky had composed his Spring Consecration today, he would have done it similarly, as Ghymes did it in its latest album ".
The
main
goal of their music is to find in what people are alike and not how they
differ; to form links among people, races and religions of the entire
world. If the musicians open up their hearts on the stage, audience can
feel it. That´s real magic for us - says Andor Buják, the
saxophonist of Ghymes. That´s the reason why the shows are always
welcome in Japan, Jordan, Iraq, Finland, Canada, as well as in the United
States.
The Ghymes and the Vujicsics groups are parts of the VENTS D´EST
(Eastern Wind), which successfully tours the world for years. The establisher
and the leader of the Vents d´Est is Mr. Michel Montanaro, a musician
from Provance, France.
