Discover the Szekler culture through a special evening with the concert of Koszika & TheHotshots and the launch of the English edition of the book The Szeklers: An Illustrated History.
Koszika
Funky fills and rhythms, jazzy-bluesy chords, spacey reggae feel, ethno-folk or even drum and bass influences are the most important words that come to mind about Koszika & The HotShots’ music. Their lyrics often filled with social criticism talk about important principles, feelings, dreams and fears. They incorporate old folk tunes, rhymes and sounds in their modern, electrically eclectic music. Best served live!

The Szeklers: An Illustrated History
A publication similar to the The Szeklers: An Illustrated History was first published in 2013 in Hungarian. Subsequently, a revised version of the book was published in Romanian and Hungarian in 2020 as an educational publication. Its aim is to summarize the most important information about the Szeklers in a short and comprehensible way for all ages. The reader can discover the history of the Szeklers from the past to the turn of the millennium. And the book includes film and book recommendations, the texts stimulate for further thoughts and reading.
Although the volume is written by eleven historians and teachers of different ages and habits, the overall picture is unified.
Speakers:
Zsolt Orbán, author of the book
Gusztáv Mihály Hermann, historian
The discussion will be in Hungarian with simultaneous English interpretation.
Initiated by Lóránt Vincze, Member of the European Parliament, the event was made possible with the kind support of HUNINEU, the Office for the European Representation of Hungarian National Communities.
