| Judit Abraham |
Judit Abraham was born in Transylvania (Romania), but the road took her in 1994 to Budapest, where she
now also lives. With a large interest spectrum, that spreads from Hungarian
folklore to Indian clasical culture, Judit is an artist with a strong opening
towards tradition, devoted to promoting it. Ever since the year 2003, she has
been holding dance classes and
workshops, also in a large number of styles, trying to bring closer to
youngsters the rural culture, almost forgotten in our days.
This passion determins her to travel in various villages, that still guard traditions, where she collects authentic motifs, as for instance in Ghimes and in Moldavia. She learns folk music of Ghimes and performes for several years with late János Zerkula, Transylvanian fiddle player, a musical project that resulted in numerous concerts both in the country as well as abroad (Austria, Germany, Holland, Russia, France). She plays Hungarian folk music with Hungarian artists as well with Szigony band and Mihály Dresch. Moreover, the results of this collaboration have landed on a record, Zerkula és a Szigony zenekar, and were also included in the movie The Vagabond, directed by Szomjas György.
In 2003, Judit wins the competition The Young Artist of Folk Art.
The same interest for the authentic determins Judit to study South-Indian carnatic music, yoga and Sanscrit. In 2009-2010, the artist travels to India, where she learns classical music and dance in Madras, and later on folk dance in Rajasthan. Here she finds the opportunity to study the rural culture of a music community in the Thar desert of Langa & Kalbeliya khast. The experience in these communities resulted into many video, sound and photographic materials.
