Photographer Kása Béla – Exhibition: 40 years of Legendary Transylvanian Musicians - 2024 August at Budapest’s Kobuci Kert in Óbuda. This is an interview done at the opening of the exhibiton. Kása Béla talks about travelling to Transylvania to photograph since 1973. This exhibition presented mainly photos of 3 generations of the famous Kodoba family dynasty of traditional Roma musicians in the village of Magyarpalatka/Pălatca, in Kolozs/Cluj County, Tranyslvania (Romania). Quoted here are the words of Hungarian filmmaker Szomjas György: "Béla’s photographs are not just about the exotic or the poverty, he is capable of seeing the nobility in this lifestyle…He raises these people and places to a new kind of aesthetic".
