Several performances from the Visegrad Four countries and some exotic countries around the world will be featured at the Budapest Ritmo world music festival opening on Friday.

Among the V4 countries Hungary will be represented by Meszecsinka, EtnoRom and Csangallo, the Czech Republic by Tomas Liska and Slovakia by Katarina Malikova.
The programme of the three-day festival includes joint performances in a “special mix” by Hungarian and international musicians every day.
It also includes acts by world music stars such as the Kal Band from Belgrade, Boric Kovac from Novi Sad, the Ponk trio from the Czech Republic and the Authentic Light Orchestra from Armenia.
The festival will feature concerts by Lura from Cape Verde, Amparanoia from Spain, Mokoomba from Zimbabwe, Chassol from Martinique and H.A.T. from Morocco.
Israel, a guest in focus of the festival, will be represented by Shefita and Malabi Tropical.
