CYMBALOM LEGACY - The Soundscape of Miklós Lukács (Amaní productions 2007)
Music documentary. This 45 min. film narrates about a particular and ancient instrument, the Cymbalom, and the music of Hungarian virtuoso Miklós Lukács. Miklós is a Roma, whose radical way of blending traditional gypsy tunes with classical harmonies, contemporary jazz and popular music is taking him and his cymbalom into new and exciting musical territory. Unsatisfied with the archaic approach the cymbalom is known for, Lukács decided to expand the horizon of this ancient instrument by dedicating himself to the exploration of what he likes to call his “infinite treasure chest". Written and directed by 'Mano' Marc Arie Camón. The film, co-produced with Steve Weiss Music (U.S.A.) is narrated and subtitled in English, and a Hungarian narrated version is also available. |
