Meszecsinka

About Meszecsinka

The last album of the band won the Fonogram Music Award (the Hungarian Grammy) for the best world music album of the year.
The Songlines Magazine (UK) says about it:
“…wild and messy, like the soundtrack to the rave at the end of the universe…”
The new one, called „Stand into the deep” was released recently. First feedbacks from the audience: „Even more powerful and epic than their previous album, the magnificent Awake in a Dream”.
The band’s name means „Little Moon” in Bulgarian.
Meszecsinka tours frequently all around Europe. They visited the USA and Canada, recorded video on the Red Square in Moscow and a Balkan road movie. Their art video “Kinyílok (I open up) reached the sixth place on the videochart of World Music Network (UK) and fRoots Magazine (UK).
The breakthrough to the larger stages was brought by “Awake in a dream” (2016), supported by the Armenian-Russian guitarist and producer Karen Arutyunyan. It was called “genius” by the Hungarian magazine HVG and “Maybe the best world music album of this year” by Magyar Narancs. In this album, Meszecsinka goes deeper and higher into their unique magical world. In 2017 Meszecsinka performed
at the APAP (Association of the Performing Arts Presenters) conference with great success in New York.
The new one, called „Stand into the deep” was released in 2019 by Narrator Records (HU) and internationally by the German Nordic Notes / CPL Music (the third-best label according to the WOMEX Top20 Labels of the year). We can hear Inuit throat singing, Lullaby, Siberian singing techniques, love song, phone recording, and trance moods that resemble ancient rituals. First feedbacks from the audience: „Even more powerful and epic than their previous album, the magnificent Awake in a Dream”, from the press: “Masterpiece”.
