The story

Budapest Ritmo in Budapest

An April world-music festival born from Budapest hosting the WOMEX industry fair in 2015, combining daytime showcase concerts at the House of Music Hungary with evening headline shows at Akvarium Klub, drawing performers from over twenty countries. Several acts booked through the festival's showcase sessions have gone on to international touring afterward.

Hangveto, a Hungarian organization that had spent years booking world and folk music at the Valley of Arts festival in Kapolcs, brought WOMEX, the world's largest world-music industry trade fair, to Budapest in 2015, and the connections built through that event fed directly into launching Budapest Ritmo the following year.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival operates simultaneously as a public concert series and a professional industry showcase, a member of the European UPBEAT platform, meaning daytime sessions carry a networking and scouting atmosphere alongside the performances themselves

02

The mystery stays covered

This dual function has helped launch international touring opportunities for several acts discovered at the festival's daytime showcase sessions, giving Budapest Ritmo genuine influence within the European world-music booking circuit beyond its own concert dates and its direct lineage from Budapest's 2015 hosting of the WOMEX trade fair
