Another exciting musical evening awaits us as part of the “Hungarian–Serbian Cultural Season 2025/2026” – a concert by the Hungarian band Söndörgő with special guest, Serbian musician Branko Bako Jovanović. The concert will take place on March 21, 2026, at Dom omladine Belgrade, starting at 8 PM.
Under the slogan “Two Nations – One Rhythm”, the current “𝙃𝙪𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣–𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙤𝙣” celebrates the beauty of togetherness between two neighboring countries through cultural exchange and artistic dialogue. The aim of the “Season”’s regular and diverse program is to shed new light on the centuries-long historical, cultural, and artistic connections between the two peoples, while creating new meeting points for contemporary cultural actors and strengthening existing ties between communities in both countries.
Following a series of highly successful concerts – including the January 29 event in Novi Sad, marked by a collaboration between the Belgrade band Naked and the Hungarian Vlach-Roma Mónika Lakatos Trio – the Cultural Season now presents a new “specialty”: a performance by the outstanding Budapest-based ensemble Söndörgő and Branko Bako Jovanović, a highly regarded tambura virtuoso, a Roma artist of Serbian origin, born in Austria, where he resides.
Founded in 1995, 𝙎ö𝙣𝙙ö𝙧𝙜ő is a renowned Hungarian world music ensemble known for its distinctive interpretation of traditional South Slavic folk music, incorporating elements of classical music, jazz, and rock. The tambura lies at the heart of their sound, forming the core of the band’s recognizable musical aesthetic. The ensemble is led by members of the Eredics family – brothers Áron, Benjamin, and Salamon, along with their cousin Dávid – whose virtuoso approach to Balkan musical heritage merges authentic sources with contemporary energy and creativity.
Last year, Söndörgő celebrated three decades of an illustrious international career with the album “XXX,” released in September by the American label GroundUP Music. The album reached sixth place on the Top 20 list of best Balkan albums of 2025, as selected by the respected international panel Balkan World Music Chart.
𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙤 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙤 𝙅𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙞ć is a distinguished Serbian musician and virtuoso of both tambura and guitar, often described as one of the finest tambura players of his generation. Raised in a Roma musical family, he received his first lessons from his uncle, guitarist Dragan Jovanović Šanjika, and by the age of 15 was already performing across Europe. Formally trained in classical guitar, he transferred that knowledge to the tambura, developing a distinctive style. He has collaborated with artists such as Miroslav Tadić and Stochelo Rosenberg, as well as numerous traditional music performers.
Last year, Bako released his fourth album, “Restless Strings”, for the label PGP RTS.
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 between an ensemble such as Söndörgő and an artist like Bako Jovanović promises a volcanic eruption of fiery playing, with an energy rivaling that of rock concerts. The tambura will stand at the center of this sonic encounter, its virtuosity elevated to the highest level by both Bako and Söndörgő. They first crossed their tamburas in late December in Budapest, where Bako appeared as a guest at Söndörgő’s anniversary concert celebration. The concert at Dom omladine will be only their second joint performance – an opportunity not to be missed.

Čeka nas još jedno uzbudljivo muzičko veče u okviru „Mađarsko-srpske kulturne sezone 2025/2026” – koncert mađarskog benda Söndörgő sa specijalnim gostom, srpskim muzičarem Brankom Bakom Jovanovićem. Koncert je zakazan za 21. mart 2026, u Domu omladine Beograda, sa početkom u 20 sati.
Pod sloganom „Dva naroda – jedan ritam”, aktuelna „𝙈𝙖đ𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙠𝙤-𝙨𝙧𝙥𝙨𝙠𝙖 𝙠𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙯𝙤𝙣𝙖 2025/2026” slavi lepotu zajedništva dve susedne zemlje na polju kulturne razmene i prožimanja. Cilj redovne i raznovrsne kulturne ponude u okviru „Sezone” jeste novo bacanje snopa svetlosti na viševekovne istorijske, kulturne i umetničke veze između dva naroda, te kreiranje novih tačaka susreta za aktere savremenog kulturnog života i dodatno jačanje postojećih veza između zajednica u obe zemlje.
Nakon većeg broja veoma uspešnih koncerata – među kojima se ističe onaj održan u Novom Sadu, 29. januara, koji je obeležila saradnja beogradskog sastava Naked i mađarskog vlaško-romskog Trija Monike Lakatoš – „Mađarsko-srpska kulturna sezona” nudi nam novi „specijalitet”: nastup izuzetnog benda Söndörgő iz Budimpešte i Branka Baka Jovanovića, cenjenog virtuoza na tamburi, romskog umetnika poreklom iz Srbije, rodom iz Austrije, gde i živi.
𝙎ö𝙣𝙙ö𝙧𝙜ő je renomirani mađarski world music sastav, osnovan 1995. godine, poznat po jedinstvenom tumačenju tradicionalne južnoslovenske narodne muzike, koje podrazumeva inkorporiranje elemenata klasične muzike, džeza i roka. U središtu njihovog zvuka nalazi se tambura, oko koje se gradi prepoznatljiva muzička estetika benda. Okosnicu sastava čine članovi porodice Eredič – braća Aron, Benjamin i Šalamon, kao i njihov rođak David – koji prema balkanskom muzičkom nasleđu imaju naglašeno virtuozni stav, spajajući autentičnost izvora sa savremenom energijom i kreativnošću.
Söndörgő je prošle godine obeležio tri decenije blistave svetske karijere albumom prigodnog naslova „XXX”, objavljenog u septembru za američku kuću „GroundUP Music”. Album se našao na šestom mestu Top 20 liste najboljih balkanskih albuma iz 2025. godine, po izboru uglednog međunarodnog panela Balkan World Music Chart.
𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙤 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙤 𝙅𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙞ć istaknuti je srpski muzičar, virtuoz na tamburi i gitari, često nazivan jednim od najboljih tamburaša današnjice. Odrastao u romskoj muzičkoj porodici, prve lekcije dobio je od ujaka, gitariste Dragana Jovanovića Šanjike, a već sa 15 godina krenuo je da niže nastupe širom Evrope. Školovao se za klasičnu gitaru, čije je znanje preneo na tamburu i razvio specifičan stil. Sarađivao je sa umetnicima poput Miroslava Tadića i Stokela Rozenberga, kao i sa brojnim izvođačima tradicionalne muzike.
Prošle godine, Bako je objavio četvrti album „Neumorne žice” za kuću PGP RTS.
𝙎𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙣𝙟𝙖 𝙨𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙫𝙖 kao što je Söndörgő sa umetnikom poput Baka Jovanovića obećava vulkansku erupciju vrele svirke, čija energija ne zaostaje za onom koja vlada na rok koncertima. U centru zvučnih dešavanja biće tambura, čiju su virtuoznost do vrhunca doveli i Bako i Söndörgő. Oni su svoje tambure prvi put ukrstili krajem decembra u Budimpešti, gde je Bako bio jedan od gostiju na rođendanskoj koncertnoj proslavi grupe Söndörgő. Koncert u Domu omladine biće tek druga takva prilika, koju ne treba propustiti!
