Bordó Sárkány returns to Tallinn



On 31st May at 4pm, the band Bordó Sárkány will give a concert in the Institute. Come and dance to the authentic rhythms of Hungarian medieval music!

Bordó Sárkány [meaning Bourdon Dragon] Old Music Order, according to its definition plays “Medieval World Music”. It means that the medieval dances and songs are approached with an expressive way. However, their own compositions are marked by medieval music styles. It’s real fusion music. About half of the tracks are instrumental, the other part is composition with lyric.  Authenticity is important. Yet they feel free to combine the original melody and text with their own creative ideas. There are adaptations, remakes of XI-XII. century, but also original compositions. The band plays Hungarian dances, songs and other peoples’ secular and religious music. They got also compositions which are played for example Hungarian and Irish flutes, violin, viola, zither, citer, but you can hear especially dynamic ones, played with medieval bagpipes, schalmei, koboz (lute), tambura and drums.

The band was invited to eleven different foreign countries over the past six years. They toured in Norway, Estonia, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland and Romania.


Bordó Sárkány - domboldalon

Bordó Sárkány published its first album called "World Tree" in 2010, in spring 2013 issued its second long-play record called "Óperencia" and in 2018, their third album "The Girl and the Dragon".

They have managed to take a small part of the Hungarian and European medieval music to other countries and hope that with their contribution they could elicit sympathy and interest in the direction of the Hungarian artists. The group has held lots of dance houses in several countries and of course in Hungary, too. In addition to the music they are trying to familiarize the folk music and also to make it more popular. They are pleased to see, how rapidly the Hungarian and European old music spread all over the world, how they get people’s heart, the pores of the hands and feet, inviting the visitors to embrace dance.
