György Korda and Klári Balázs : I still have a vinyl by Korda I inherited from my mother and I still remember those warm summer nights when with our windows open and the blinds propped up my sister and I listend to his singing carried over by the wind from a nearby open air stage of a restaurant in the 7th district. Damn, I am getting old.

DAY 3 - Civic Island : Organizational Reach Out :

Day 2 - Tinariwen :

Drummers : Much like the waterpipes, these impropmtu conga drummers are a returning theme among the Sziget Festival panoramas, but it's difficult to resist . . .

Hungaricum (Stilts) : 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.

DAY 2 - Dreher Karaoke Tent :

Hubert Tubbs and Soulblaster :

Szilvasi Gipsy Folk Band : You are seeing and unusually calm crowd at the Roma Stage. Since the music here inherently inspires the dancing feet, this is a rare moment. The calm before the storm.

Shower : According to weather reports, we will be topping the tremperature chart for the week tomorrow. As the mercury climbs to its peak, the water misters are no longer just for fun, but are just about essential.

Tiken Jah Fakoly : From wikipedia.org:
Tiken Jah Fakoly plays music "to wake up the consciences". His music speaks about many injustices done to the people of his country, and those over Africa. As such, many African listeners feel a deep affinity with his lyrics as Fakoly speaks for oppressed people. This connection has helped make Tiken Jah Fakoly a much-listened artist throughout the world.
