Working with Rosta Kati – conversation with Gryllus Dániel, Sebő Ferenc, Szomjas György, Jantyik Csaka, Jantyik Zsolt . These gentlemen remember the work of the recently passed away Rosta Kati. She worked closely with all of them, with Halmos Béla and many others; as producer and organizer for festivals, concerts, publications, film, TV. Much of her work focused on folk music and the dancehouse movement, but she also worked with other music genres. She had endless energy, good taste and got things done – always promoting the work of others, rather than herself. A few of the projects she worked on: Kaláka Festival, "Új Régi Hang" series of documentary films on master traditional musicians (directed by Halmos, Szomjas), "Betyárjáték" theatre production, and many, many more. In Kati’s own words: "…better to honor someone’s life and work, than their death." By Jantyik Csaba.
