LAKVAR present their new album, "Fiction and Folklore," following their successful debut album, "Sabotage and Tradition." In "Fiction and Folklore", LAKVAR masterfully capture the deeply rooted essence of folklore and fuse it with a dose of fiction. The album represents a journey born of a complex identity, that extends through the nebulous origins of the Balkans, the Caucasus, and Central Europe, deep into the roots of the Earth.
LAKVAR combine infectious melodies, hypnotic arrangements, poignant lyrics, and memories of a homeland that may have never existed, to create a captivating album.
LAKVAR were very pleased to feature on the album renowned guest musicians: Hungarian tambura virtuoso Áron Eredics (Söndörgö) and Hungarian percussion maestro Kornél Mogyoró (five-time recipient of the Percussionist of the Year award in Hungary).
LAKVAR is not a band that can be confined to predefined "transcultural" categories; they create their own musical identity beyond conventional boundaries. Their bold, genre-defying sound and absolute self-determination reflect their determination to realize their vision that in music, there are no boundaries, only the freedom to achieve the impossible.
