The legendary Makám band, led by composer and lyricist Zoltán Krulik, celebrates its 40th anniversary next year. They have been one of the founders and a major figure of the Hungarian world music scene ever since. The band has undergone several changes in the past decades, but the original spirit has remained intact. Krulik's latest venture, the Makám Quartet, was formed in the spring of 2023 with the aim of presenting the works of contemporary Hungarian poets: their repertoire includes poems by Mari Falcsik, Attila Jász, Tamás Jónás, János Lackfi, Noémi László, Anna Szabó T., János Térey and Krisztina Tóth. In addition to the Quartet, the KruBaVi Trio, active since 2020, will also be presenting songs by Endre Ady and Zoltán Somlyó, as well as songs by Krulik's former group Robinzon Kruzo.
