Chalga is a urban folk/worldmusic band from Hungary. These days arts and especially music are about to find their own Babel: crossing former boundaries seems to be the way for renewal. The music of Chalga is a common denominator of musical forms to which an urban listener is exposed to, so the best approach would be to call it “urban folk”. Recycled tradition – folk music out of context, mainly inspired by traditional music, although not being similar to it.
