INTU

This interesting trio, to Novi Sad, on this year’s Street Musicians Festival, come from the Hungarian town of Pécs. Bencsik Gergely (violin), Hajba Gergő (guitar) and Bánhalmi Zsolt (percussions) perform world and ambient music, that is post-folk and urban folk. Interestingly, INTU was most influenced, as they say themselves, by the violinist from Subotica Lajko Feliks and the popular Australian roots and jam ensemble John Butler Trio.

INTU posses three well acclaimed studio albums. The first was released in 2011 and is named Rege (Story), the second came a year later, under the name Vasárnap (Sunday), while the third is called Meridián (Meridian), which was released this year. They added that Nordinger And Rítus (Rite) their double album is soon to be released.

Dynamic tones, harmonies, silence, whisper, and then a violent storm (!) – that is the Hungarian band INTU (http://www.intuband.hu/). They made music inspired by folk heritage of several European cultures, but in the end they still play very intuitively and with loads of improvisations (https://soundcloud.com/intuband/sets/meridi-n-2015). They are glad guests to other musicians. The band was formed in 2010, as a band of furious street musicians, but later, after the arrival of their studio albums, they began to perform more and more in clubs and on festivals.
