Armenian-born David Yengibarian studied in Hungary from 1995, where he became one of the most sought-after jazz and world music performers and composers. He has released seven albums, and has also composed several theatre and film scores. The main sources of his folk-inspired music are the Armenian musical tradition, European and American jazz and improvisational music, as well as Argentine tango and the music of its greatest innovator Astor Piazzolla. Above all, his trio is characterised by an emotional performance style heavily drawing on improvisation. In recent years, the band has performed with many prominent national and international guests, such as Miklós Lukács, Tony Lakatos, and Gevorg Dabaghyan. Their own compositions form the backbone of their repertoire at this concert, but Balkan and Latin songs may also appear in the programme.
