Magashegyi Underground concert – Kobuci

Spring is finally here and your favourite artists are back on the Kobuci stage. This time, the High Mountain Underground will perform under the stars and the guest will be Zorka.

The Magashegyi Underground has gone from being an early discovery of Petőfi Radio to one of the most influential bands in the Hungarian alternative music scene. The band was founded in 2004 by Máriusz Fodor, but it really found its true voice with the entry of singer Bíborka Bocskor: the songs she recorded with her, Szeplős Váll and Anglia, quickly made the group famous. Their style defies categorisation: their urban folk music often has electronic influences and, despite their strong songwriting vein, they are not afraid of darker tones. They have released five full albums to date (A Thousand Forests 2010, The Day After Yesterday 2013, The Sea Found 2016, My Secret Life 2020, The Road to One Another is Short 2023), and their radio songs (Metro Wire, Shake Up, Shadows, Rainy Day, Eyewords, Moonlight City) have given the group a steady presence and many invitations to perform: They wrote and performed a joint MÜPA evening with Krisztina Tóth for the first time, and in 2020 they released their album Titkos életem (My Secret Life), which contains all the songs written to the poet-writer’s poems. After Bíborka Bocskor’s one-year maternity leave, the group returned to the concert stage in 2021, rested and with renewed energy, to the great delight of their fans. In December 2023, the band released their latest studio album, “A Short Way to Each Other”, on which the core team responsible for the songs of the band’s “peak era” returned to work together again. Both critics and fans have welcomed the new material, and the group is sure to bring some new songs to their always highly anticipated kobucis concert, which will span the entire eighteen-year career. It is characterized by an alternative pop sound with poetic lyrics and catchy melodies. The themes are an emotional roller coaster ride, from which we don’t want to get off. They started out as an acoustic band, and since 2022 they have been performing with an orchestra all over the country. In February this year, the first aZorka album was released, titled Toy Bird, featuring songs about the different stages of self-healing from Dorottya’s point of view.
