Interview with musician, singer Laposa Julcsi about her album "Tudod-e édesem" (released January 2024). Love is the main theme of this recording of songs based in folk music, that ’soar into world music’. Previously known for her children’s publications, Laposa Julcsi’s new recording for an adult audience is in a more lyrical, thoughtful mood. The songs tell about a girl’s intense feelings as she grows from girlhood into womanhood. The recording features traditional the folk instruments with piano, guitar and cajon and includes songs in the Slovak and Slovienian languages with French influences in the music. Originally from the village of Tekenye in Southwestern Hungary where she describes "... an organic part of the village culture is to sing [so-called] ’Hungarian Nóta’ tunes with an accordionist during the annual grape harvest parade." In addition to her music, Julcsi now works in economics and cultural diplomacy. Interview by Kertész Dalma.
