We kick off our week in Hungary with one of our very favorite Eastern European bands — Besh O DroM.
Besh O DroM is a Budapest-based multifaceted, multi-talented 10 piece “electro-acoustic collective” that draws on traditional music from all over the world — “Transylvanian, Jewish, Afghan, Egyptian, Armenian, Bulgarian, Romanian and Greekz,” as they say on their website — to create a rambunctious blend of old and new. The band’s comes from the Lovari language, meaning, “ride the road.” Or, with a more creative translation, “follow your path, get on with it.” This video will definitely confince you to follow the B-O-D path.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
