One of the songs of Lajkó’s album called Most jöttem was featured on the Top of the World CD of the August-September issue of Songlines in 2016 and now he is up for an award as one of the best artists of world music.

The talented violinist, zither player, and composer was actually born in Serbia to a Hungarian family and, according to his bio, his music seems to be “representing and culturally connecting Hungary and his native Voivodina region”. Moreover, he picks his styles and trends rather freely and plays all genres of music alike and “[has his] way in improvising and composing”.
