Miklós Both

Miklós Both (born 3 June 1981, Budapest) is a Hungarian composer, performer, folklorist, singer for the band Napra [hu], guitarist, and vitar violin player.

[8] In 2009, at the 100th anniversary celebration of Miklós Radnóti's birth, with Dániel Gryllus as host, Both was commissioned to create music for a reading of the poet's works by the series editor of Helicon Audio album.

The project is funded by the European Union, whose members are Hungarian, Italian and Romanian musicians who hold workshops and concerts in several countries.

[11] At the World Music Expo (WOMEX) in Copenhagen in 2011,[12] Both was part of Hungary's opening ceremony along with four other musicians, who later in 2012, founded the Both Miklós Folkside project.

The band members are cymbalist Miklós Lukács, Balázs Szokolay Dongó with brass instruments, András Dés with percussion, and Csaba Novák on the bass.

This is an influential journey in his life; from this point onward, he travels to the country several times per year in order to build a database of folklore.

[29] In May 2018, recordings made over four years are published in an online database of academic quality, eliciting great interest and attention from all over the world.

The intensity of interest is demonstrated by the fact that Ukraine's Minister of Culture Yevhen Nyshchuk gave a speech at the opening ceremony along with a number of Ukrainian and Hungarian folklorists.
