This week's guests of the Válasz Online podcast are the best-known faces of the Csík Orchestra, and speaking of which, it's bittersweet: the founder announces in a recent episode of HetiVálasz that he is leaving the band. Guests: János Csík, Marianna Majorosi and Attila Szabó. Host: András Stumpf. ???? Support for the show and Válasz Online: https://www.valaszonline.hu/tamogatas/ It rarely happens that the people involved announce an important change that is also important from the point of view of Hungarian culture in the Válasz Online podcast. In the latest broadcast of HetiVálasz, this is exactly what is happening: János Csík announces with us that he is leaving the Csík Orchestra, which he founded in 1988. The violinist and singer will be the first to introduce the Válasz viewers and listeners to the reasons for his decision. He also says: as a farewell, he will perform on stage with the band on his 60th birthday at the end of December. Our broadcast reveals why the band does not break up despite this, and how they will continue without the founder from next January. And in general: how do you feel in this strange situation? Marianna Majorosi, one of the country's best-known voices, the band's singer, and Attila Szabó, the other leader of the band next to János Csík and also its creative miracle weapon, talk in detail on the broadcast. It also sheds light on how Csík Zenekar became an indelibly important formation in Hungarian music in the second half of the 2000s, which was the first to create folk music from contemporary pop music. We will find out how all this is related to János Csík's almost fatal accident 22 years ago, or how Attila Szabó met András Lovasi by chance. Many people were probably not even aware until now that Marianna Majorosi sang Most múlik exact in the studio without ever having heard Quimby's original. It also becomes clear why the band did not go deeply into party politics, and that it was not even intended as a party political statement when they said yes to the invitation to a peaceful march. Lots of interesting facts about one of the most important bands of the 2000s directly from the best-known members in the 247th broadcast of HetiVálasz.
