MEDIAWAVE Film Forum 2. International Conference, "Parallel Cultural Awards", Closing - award ceremony, MEDIAWAVE & BMC Jazz Reggae Project (GER/FRA/HUN/USA), Tudósok (HUN), Shukar Collective (ROM), Fláre Beás Band (HUN)

In 2001 the MEDIAWAVE Foundation initiated that along the lines of the intellectual endeavors of the “RAVAZD ROUNDTABLE” an award should be created and given to those artists who could be impulsive, strong and even difficult personalities, other times they are humble, quiet people who are almost imperceptible. What unites them is that they have not been broken or dragged down to mediocrity by political pressure or the pressure of their environment.

After the special, cooperative projects of the las festival (Dresch-Gilchrist-Szandai-Drake, Schiefel-Daerr-Lukács-Szandai) we got an idea with Bognár Tamás (Budapest Music Center Records) to try to realize a more extreme idea.

Reggae seems to be far from these creative musicians, but after letting them know our idea, the reaction was surprizeingly excitement, so we started to organize.

On the one side of Shukar Collective are the roma singers, from rural, sub-standard living conditions, who work in terrible conditions for meager pay and have to feed large families. But they have passionate ursari music that is tribal, almost primitive, always changing and continually emotive.

Gipsy band.
