Sándor Födő - percussions

Subjectively

In spite of the fact I can rarely do it, I very much like to play with a percussionist, because if we are lucky there are lots of things they do instead of me or they reinforce what I am playing. In a less lucky situation we produce a chaotic rumble but this is a different subject... I noticed when we played together for the first time with Sanyi, that during accompanying a solo certain dynamic steps and accents developed "by themselves", exactly the moment I wanted them. As I was not used to this, first I looked around, surprised; where did that come from? Then I was relieved to notice Sanyi's drumstick on the China cymbal for example.

According to the facts

He's one of Hungary's most versatile percussionists, who also plays the keyboards in many of his bands. He has played in a large variety of pop and jazz productions and made two albums with his etno-jazz band Dafina, and has been the musical director of the Ezter project.
