Csik Egyuttes with Lovasi, Dresch, Ferenczi :

AXE Tent : AXE is pushing its products pretty hard this year at Sziget. Not only did they have a few scrub stations set up, they even had tent with stage. Here, all the performers are volunteers and not all are on the stage ;^).

Pre-Festival : Getting ready : Stages are popping up everywhere on the Danube island of Obuda. Whatever the rumors, no matter the road closings along the Danube - here's your living proof: Sziget Festival 2008 is about to get switched on.

Gyula Babos Fans during a day of Music Against Racism : Gyula Babos, Hungary's well known jazz guitarist performed during the day of Music Against Racism at Sziget Festival 2009. I'd say his fans enjoyed the show - and each other.

Hungaricum (The Village) : While there have been exhibits dealing with Hungarian ethnic art and folklore during Sziget Festivals past, none as fun and interactive as this year's Hungaricum Village. Beautifully built country house facades complete with real sunflowers and demonstrations of Hungarian country life which you can wear, taste and play along with.

World Music Instruments : Yes, people actually buy these instruments at Sziget Festival and you see many impromptu performance riding on the tail of the scheduled performers at the African Village, long into the morning hours.

Vanessa i Sorba :
