Chocolate has always been as medicine in History

„Let Food Be
Your Medicine and Medicine Be Your Food.”

Hippocrates
(460-377 BC)

Chocolate is going through a reborn era, back to
comfort, way back to retro, forward to new gastronomic exploration and healthy
indulgence.

Must admit,
I love the pleasure of chocolates served three ways:

Frozen

Liquid

Bars

Throughout the past 20 decades, Budapest has become the city of Festivals. Especially, from early spring to late fall, but also during the high seasons. There has been festivals almost each and every week-end, regarding to: Palinka, Wine, Gourmet, Typical Hungarian flavoured Sausage, Mulled wine, you name it, but this will be the first time to have sweeties on the table, as a dessert. Whether you are an addicted „chocoholic” person or not, it will be an event to enjoy for kids, adults and a great meeting venue point.

So let’s talk while we eat chocolate and get down to the point. Here is a notice to keep in mind for the forthcoming week-end. So, this week-end there will be for not only the sweets-tooths the „SWEET DAYS FESTIVAL”. This will be the first chocolate festival in Hungary to be in the line in the future like many European and Overseas traditional festivals.

Yes, most festivals last only through the week-ends, so be sure to get your walking shoes on and head up to the hills of Buda. Up there it has an amazing view to the city’s landscape of 180 degree. This festival will be a venue based on looking into the trends within the Chocolate Industry and
sharing all the excitement and flavor that it brings, to the general public.

Share your passion for varietal chocolate, fresh ingredients,  organic, vegan and infused flavor with your kids and friends by tasting not just any chocolates, but some of the finest rich, creamy, decadent trifle, high quality hand-made chocolates produced here in Hungary.

Mr. János Pataki, President, UIPCG (World Confectionery Association) main patron, will open the festival.

The host of this year’s festival will be Sarah Jane Evans, the specialist writer to the BBC of food and wines. She also enjoys exploring the different byways of fine chocolate and regularly keeps the readers updated about them.

In the evening hours there will be live music: funky, soul, jazzy – to lose some fat 🙂

So make plans to attend the chocolate festival. Good luck, enjoy  your day and night.

Budapest, District 1. – 20-22 Fény street

Wake-up and be there first at the open gates at 8.15 a.m.

I would like to add my personal thought:  Fitness for the body is as important as  feeding ourselves, because how can a person pull on their skate shoes and go, if they ain’t fit enough.

Talked about future plans: “As for the plans for the future we will be holding a Children Word Championship  in 2012 at Budapest. Early in October the Hungarian “bodies” are off to Spain to participate at several contest. There will be 27 categories at the International Federation of Body Building (IABB). The IABB doesn’t have the level of high training schools, even though the pretence is highly needed, therefore it is a challenge and  a project to be  fulfilled to develop this need in the future.”

Kyoko Aihara,   third visit to Budapest.

The famous book writer of the lives of the Geisha’s

PONTON   GALLERY – BUDAPEST

September, 6-10.

Over the past 10 years, this is the third time Kyoko Aihara, the fascinating and detailed book writer of the lives of the Geisha arrived to Budapest.  This time she bought along her own design collection of amazingly beautiful, rich in patterns kymonos and self taken photos, hand painted personal cards, hairpins, hand-made coloured silk and cotton shawl, wooden made footwear, special socks,  wooden and pearl made headdress  accessories. Kyoko Aihara  was wecomed  by Rita HALASI, the owner of the outstanding  PONTON Gallery  (Budapest, First District, 65-67 Batthyány Str.).  Dr.Györgyi FAJCSÁK, Director of the Ferenc Hopp Museum of Eastern-Asia Arts talked about the tradional background of the Geisha’s past and present lives. Kyoko also greated with kind  words  the huge gathered crowd of interest.

Asked Kyoko about her experiences throughout  the times of her visits. She said. “It’s been now almost 10 years since I first visited Hungary and ever since my first stay, I felt and saw so much beauty in the country’s landscapes and met friendly people. Been to  the Lake Balaton, at Villány and the surrounding mountain side, visiting also a vineyard area. Traveled  through  the country’s north-east part to Tokaj.  One of the famous wine areas in Hungary. Of course, tasted the worldwide know Tokaj wine. Have to admit  the rich taste was really enjoyable.” Kyoko also  spoked about the Hungarian traditional dishes, saying: “Even though my body was raised on the Japanese meals, I am  very much fond of the Hungarian food.”  Moving along from her past visit’s experiences she talked about her present exhibition regarding to the Geisha’s world and culture. This time  her stay is for 10 days, visiting sights before and after the exhibition and some other parts of the country.  Kyoko also said: “I am very happy to be again in Hungary. I feel very close to the Hungarians and hope I’ll be able to come back in a short time. From   Hungary I will be off to do another exhibition with this collection  in Lithuania”.

(Kyoko Aihara was born in Yokohama in Japan.
She graduated in History of Art from Keio University in Tokyo. Since 1994 she has been working as a freelance journalist and a photographer in Japan.)

Asked her how she went into writting a book of the Geishas. She said: “One day a representative from the BBC got in touch with me saying he read my articles and asked me to write a book of the Geisha’s.” At this point her whole world changed in 1999  within the realise of her book marked with her own photos she has collected among the Maiko and Geikoin. Her unprecedented access to the city’s tea houses of Kyoto, made her uniquely to write this outstanding book. With Kyoko’s original photos, her informative and honest text provides a fascinating and detailed portrait of a distinctive and intriguing aspect of Japanese society. During the period of collecting material and taking photos for her book was the time when she fell inlove with the Kymono. Kyoko also discovered that the to-day’s individuals have completely forgotten of the beauty that lies in wearing the traditionally artwork of the kimonos and only can meet the eye reading old books and seen in the world of the Bohemians.

Here in Hungary the first edition of  the Geisha’s book of 6000 copies had entered many homes. Hopefully, there will be a second edition coming sometimes in the near future.

The exotic appearance interest in Geisha world have spawned various popular culture both in Japan and in the West. Now-a-days mainly in Kyoto, whereas it has always been a deep tradition of the existing  strong  culture.

Special thanks goes to dr. Györgyi Fajcsák for the background assistance.

BUDAPEST CITY’S TRAFFIC STOPPED AND WATCHED THE WORLD GO BY

Around 11 a.m. the representatives of the high-riders started their galopp from the Hero square towards to their port of destination the Institute of Military History. Along the way through the Blvd. and roads to the scene, the traffic was on a short hold and only the horses clip-clops filled the air. Folks on guided tour’s: hop-on, hop-off and other foreigner tourist buses seeing this massive range of horses with the “Hussars” appearance of the 19th century’s costum made them suddenly jump up from their seats and grabbing, clicking their cameras and prehaps forgetting where/how they have gotten into this scene. Missed to look along their way to see the attractions of the Hero squares, the Opera House, the National Academy, the Chain Bridge and to view the landscape to the other side of the River Danube and the Castle area’s historical buildings. Probably, they will spread the word at their hotels and bring out others to do some hop-on, hop-off tour of tomorrow as to not to miss a show of their lifetime and that they won’t be able to see an awesom show anywhere else around the world. They may think, this is a regular event here in Budapest or a part of their sightseeing package. 🙂 Anyway, they were the lucky ones to be out there.

Shortly arriving to the Marble Hall at the Institute of Military History,  the National Galopp’s flag of celebration and the drawing of the riders took place.

Mr. Vilmos Lázár, six-time World Champion, President of the Hungarian Equestrian Association and the National Galopp started his talk by saying „I am absolutely in the mood and spirit of the national galopp already” He also said at the flag of celebration: “The national flag represents „one as a whole” the community and strongers the public spirit.

As for Mr. Lázár it isn’t an unusual mode to be riding on horses. He rides horses each and every day, but this time coaching through Budapest from the Hero square up to the hills of Buda along with the coachmen and horse-riders it was such a thrill for him. He was amazed to see the surprised faces, then the hands of the waving crowd,  their greetings, clapping, smiley faces, shooting photos, watching the passing “Hussars” and as they gain to see more-and-more coaches passing by. This was first occasion as a pre-event part of the National Galopp when horses riding through the city’s most traffic routes. It seemed like the pageantry “relaxed the drivers” because at the traffic lanes nobody was upset in having to have  had a bit of delay wherever they were heading.

Mr. Lázár continued his talk with some figures: “This will be 4th year of the National Galopp that has reached by deputy participants over 194 settlements. During the past  years, 12 new horse racing track premises were built in Hungary and hundreds from over the borderline arrived to this grand festival and more than a million viewers watched the race through television networks.

During the flag of celebration, the leader of the “Hussar” parade Mil.Lt.Col. Tibor Székely, traditional cavalry said: “The National Galopp is a horse race reviving the Hungarian “Hussar” culture within the military history of Hungary and we lift our flag high as to led us to faith, honour and courage”.

The second part of the ceremony was the draw of the participants to be in the qualifying heat. There will be a tie between each other at 12 qualifying rounds of a total of 72 settlements.

THE NATIONAL GALOPP

“NEMZETI VÁGTA”

HERO SQUARE

SEPTEMBER, 14-18. 2011.

The brilliant  idea of organizing the National Galopp  popped out of  Peter Geszti’s mind in 2008. The idea was to arrange  a festival that joints many culture events, but the main aim was to hold a gathering to introduce the historical, traditional equestrians. The past annual festival’s days were full of entertainment: paroxysm of incredible cavalrymen, spectacular horse rider’s parade, but the main goal was to have a horse race with well-known folks from veriest  fields.  Also brought together a range of nationwide country areas horse riders to show their local traditional horse shows. Before and after the race, throughout the days many concerts took place, that were all free of charge.

From the beginning, naturally, a high number of sponsors  stood by, supported this huge show of without whom it couldn’t have been brought under the umbrella. So far, this is just a brief information of the background of what’s to come at September 14-18 , which is just around the corner.

This year will be the  4th year of the National Galopp, that has made it’s way to be now as a traditional festival. There will be a  slight change in the dates compared to the previous years. It will be held between September, 14-18. This year not only the  horse riders, but the horse drivers will also have the chance to  measure their abilities.

Tomorrow, 6/9/2011. Tuesday, noon will be the first time in the history of  the National Galopp  that will cover main routes  in Budapest. Starting at  the Hero Square along the Andrassy Blvd. up to the hilly side of Buda to the Kapisztrán Square, whereas the flag ceremony will take place. The draw will be held in the „Marble Hall” at the Institute of  the Military History.  The National Galopp draw will be covered by charity round  winners,  well-known famous drivers, trolley pushers. The afternoon will be surely a delicate pageantry scene for those who wish to see the horse riders dressed up in way back era’s traditional  Hungarian uniforms and outfits.

During the festival there will be an ongoing service of the „National Kitchen”, Palinka-town, Wine-town and many  interesting scenes to keep the visitors eyes wide open.

Follow-ups to be continued…

Billy Cobham (a/k/a “Boomer”)

This concert was layed  upon Budapest’s one of the biggest grass fields. Yes, the  grass was high, but not for smoking it 🙂

This afternoon Billy and the Morgan’s gave a concert full of Art of Jazz.

Who follows Billy’s career can identify him in the drum department field as the most influential drummers in the world of  jazz. Over the five decades the name Cobham is one of the most recognizable names. His presence was one of the reasons that a huge  crowd gathered and was interested to see and hear him personally behind his drums.

After the concert spent a few moments to talk with him.

AR: As a very young boy you hanged around with your cousins who prepared percussion instruments. Actually they drawn your attention to the drums, right? Did any of your cousins joined the music business, went into  playing in a group?

BC: Yes, they did –   that’s when my love for the drums started. No, aren’t playing in a band, they just stood beside their love of making  alsort of different kind of percussion instruments.

AR: This was a superb concert with many fields of music,  fusion jazz, improvisional music. Do you have any plans  for the future to go in studio to record with the Morgan’s?

BC: At the moment not that I am aware of doing it, because I am extremely busy on tours and teaching  but anything can happen.

AR: Maybe your manager can find the time for it?

BC:  No, I don’t think so, cause I am my own manager … smiling

AR: In Hungary there is an annual Castle Jazz Festival at the City Gyula. Haven’t seen you there this year. Earlier, I heard you participated at the festival and also you taught drums  there.

BC:.  G Y U L A  (Billy spelled  and pronounced the city’s name with a perfect Hungarian accent) I know that city well. Yes, last September, I was there, it was a frantic jazz sensation playing with all those great musicians on one stage. This year I wasn’t on the list for call.  Earlier, I was down their teaching drums. Looking forward to an invitation for the year 2012 to the Gyula’s Castle Jazz Festival.

AR: You just arrived for the gig. Do you have time to do a bit of a sightseeing, wonder around here in Budapest? There is on top of the hilly side of Budapest,  the  Buda area  at the King’s Castle  the Fall’s Wine Festival with „flowing pleasure”. Do you plan on getting there to taste some Hungarian wines and have a glance at the great landscape of Budapest?

BC: Yes, this time is a short stay, have many obligations. Concerning the Wine Festival, tasted some lovely smooth Hungarian wines already and seen some shows up there.

AR: It was a pleasure being here to-day, enjoyed every minute of it. Also the gathered crowd was taken into the mood and enjoyed this more than an hour of good music. Hoping to see you next year, if not before at the Gyula’s Festival.

BC: I will surely note the dates and  try to make it,  if they call me.

AR: See you next year at the Jazz Festival arranged at the City of GYULA

To show a bit of the gig, here are some snaps taken at the concert.

THE MORGAN WORKSHOP WILL JOIN BILL COBHAM  THE  SPECIAL GUEST  AT THE 

PEOPLE’S PARK (NÉPLIGET)  – BUDAPEST

WATERLINE (VÍZVONAL) JAZZ  STAGE

September, 3. 2011 –  Saturday 5 p.m.

HOPEFULLY,  YA’LL SEE ON STAGE WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST RECORDING OF THE SPECTRUM

RED BARON

Arriving to, spending the week-end at Budapest, good idea, because the summer  warmth is still here and to spend an early evening at an open-air stage with terrific musicians is just awesome.

Mixture of music  from Panama – New York and Switzerland flows within the veins  of  BILL COBHAM, the jazz drummer, composer and bandleader.

Bill Cobham born in Panama, whereas he fell inlove and became fascinated with the percussions as a very young child when he was gathering with his cousins as they played on these instruments.

Over the decades in general Cobham has acclaimed as fusion’s greatest drummer, but actually he is really a master of Art’s in Percussive.

In the early days, Billy Cobham’s explosive technique powered some of the genre’s most important early recording,  including groundbreaking efforts by Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

He was capable of subtler, funkier grooves on the one hand, and awe-inspiring solo improvisations on the other. In fact, his technical virtuosity was high that his flashes sometimes overwhelmed his music. Cobham drumming history is like milestones after milestones,  backed over the years with hundreds of well-known musicians like: Miles Davis, George Benson, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stanley Turrentine, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, Grover Washington Jr., Shirley Scott, Peter Gabriel, just to mention a few of the long list of  honourable musicians he played with.  Cobham branched out to his lightness of spirit, despite the heavy music, jazz fusion, which blended elements of the jazz, rock  and roll and funk styles. Cobham is well-known at festivals. A regular „visitor” at the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Toured around the U.S. and Europe with Silver in 1968,

ln the late 70s he was highly active as a session drummer.

Deciding to make a go of it on his own, Cobham formed his own band, named Spectrum, which initially featured the group of mates from his ex-Mahavishnu. His debut as a leader, also called Spectrum, was released in 1973, showcasing an exciting blend of jazz, funk, and rock by  Cobham experimenting a bit with electronic percussion. Spectrum is still generally acknowledged as the high point of Cobham’s solo career, and holds up quite well today. One of the most know Spectrum’s hit was/is the RED BARON.

Early 90s more to the world music. Cobham has also covered extensively by “hyperfunk” jam-band.

During the end of the 90s he turned a bit more to be in the acoustic-oriented  field.

Members of the Morgan Workshop: György VUKÁN, Zsolt KALTENECKER, Balázs BERKES, Béla LATTMANN, Attila LÁSZLÓ, Gyula BABOS, Kornél FEKETE-KOVÁCS, Gyula CSEPREGI, András JÁSZ, Dániel ZSOLDOS and Béla ZSOLDOS.

The  Morgan Workshop exist of superb  worldwide known Hungarian  musicians. It will be a recharging  evening of fantastic good music!

As once Miles Davis said  “Good music is good no matter what kind of music it is.”  and he was surely right!

ENJOY YOUR STAY !
