Album release: Arva az a madar - Lonely Is The Bird


Cover: Aleah

This wonderful sunshiny weekend, when birdies are happily chatting, you should be the first to know about the new digital album that just has been released:


Arva az a madar - Lonely Is The Bird

Andrea Gerak singing Hungarian folk songs with New Age music by Effi Shoshani (Israel), Angel Oros - Cambridge (Spain) and Sandor Fekete-Kiss (Hungary)


What people say about it:


"Traditional Hungarian music can be outstanding and this modern version (Arva az a madar - Lonely Is The Bird) from Andrea Gerak is no exception. Incredible vocal skill is matched by equally incredible musical arrangements! Beauty to be cherished!"


"I don't speak a word of Hungarian, but this (Ne aludj el - Don't Fall Asleep) is extremely lovely. I can imagine sunrise coming up over the forest with this song playing."


"This composition and performance (Madarka, madarka - Little Birdie) is quite unique. The music is traditional, yet progressive, complex yet beautifully simple. An awesome, nearly unbelievable voice, harmonizing with drifting, choir-like echoes"
