Music

Magna Cum Laude is an up and coming team of musicians in Hungary with most their songs getting to the radio top lists quite surprisingly. They bring a fresh style to the Hungarian pop scene, and I must admit I love their music. Their clips also show a certain affinity to good humor. Some of their hits are up on YouTube, so you can check them out (warning: Hungarian lyrics). One of my faves is Visszhang ("Echo" in English):

Only time will tell whether they manage to keep up with creating hits at this pace. Also check out Te légy most ("Be with me" in English), Színezd újra ("Recolor your life" in English) and Minden állomás ("Every station" in English) if you like this one.

Due to the Microsoft event, I had no time yet to blog about the very first Hungarian Drupal User Group event, which took place in Szeged late last week, and was actually organized by the Belgian living in Hungary: Kristof Van Tomme. He has a very good sense of selecting what makes a fun event.

Jamie Winchester and Róbert Hrutka formed their band six years ago, but they become well known in Hungary (as far as I know) after one of their songs was used in a local mobile carrier's commercial. Although that was quite some time ago, they release thrilling songs ever since, and the quality of their work is constantly amazing for my ears. Here is one one of their fine songs, titled "Take me home".
