About the musicians:
David Yengibarjan (1976, Yerevan)
Though he has been living in Hungary only since 1995, he is one of the most well-known and sought-after accordionists. He has participated in a great number of theatrical and film productions both as a performer (Bertolt Brecht: Jungle of the Cities, Andor Lukáts: Portugal, Joye Sergent: Crime and Punishment) and as a composer (Ferenc Molnár: Liliom, András Szo"ke: Three, György Farkas: Blood Line, András Féso"s: Street Heart Beat). His recognition in Hungary has been accompanied by requests and invitations to perform abroad; he has played in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Edinburgh. He founded his own group, the Trio Yengibarjan, in 1999, after recording the film music of Holstein Lovers (which has a tango theme) with Ferenc Snétberger and József Barcza Horváth. His aspiration is to create a fusion of the Argentinian tango, the “New Tango” of Astor Piazzolla, and various types of folk music.
