[Rumori] creative commons remix contest of a Hungarian gypsy band

[Vályi Gábor]

dear rumorites,

lo and behold: musical remix materials up for grabs for noncommercial 
appropriations.

The Nomada band, Creative Commons Hungary and Tilos Radio announce the first 
CC remix contest in Hungary


The five-membered Nomada ('Nomads') was founded by Roma singer-guitarist 
Balogh Gusztáv in 2003. The music of Nomada is derived from Hungarian Gypsy 
tradition, yet it creates an utterly unique sound by blending various 
styles. The water can, the oral base, and the rhythm guitar provides the 
estam (the kontras of the songs), but this characteristic Gypsy singing and 
rhythmatic pattern is further enriched and embellished by the grooves of the 
drums and the bass guitar. Nomada melds Gypsy folklore with Spanish, Arabic, 
and Serbian folk music elements.

 Nomada is first amongst Hungarian musicians to release a song under 
Creative Commons Attribution - Non-commercial- Share Alike licence.


The deadline is the 31st of March, 2006
