Bettina Bánki

Through years of immersing herself in jazz and folk music, Bettina’s musical identity has slowly grown into a meeting point of these two worlds. In her music, the freedom of jazz meets the ancient roots of folk traditions, blending into a sound that reflects her own path.

Her deepest inspiration comes from her homeland, Hungary, and from thecultural currents that have shaped the region over centuries. The melodies of these traditions carry stories of the past echoes of different ethnicities, landscapes, and histories. Within them lives adeep emotional heritage that she feels connected to in many layers of her own
life.

Her music consists not only folk music in a jazz context, but also some jazz standards that make an inventive and new blend of sound in the context of jazz and world music.
