Musical Projects

Many worlds.
One voice.

Koszika doesn't belong to a single sound — she inhabits many. Each project is its own universe: different collaborators, different languages, different truths.

Koszika &
Peter Sarik Trio

Jazz Folk Improvisation Hungarian · Romanian · Balkan Indulj el · 2025

Their collaboration transports the listener to a special musical world — one that unites East and West, old and new. Music from the heart, full of improvisation that refuses to be classified. Koszika's voice and kind personality, the Trio's directness and virtuosic playing, the magic of folk songs and the boundless energy of jazz: all of it meets in one place.

Hungarian, Romanian and Balkan melodies, woven together with their own compositions, cast a spell on audiences who are — as guaranteed as anything in music — going to want to dance. Their debut album Indulj el was released November 2025 and featured on ORF1 (Austria).

Koszika & The HotShots
Since 2011

Koszika & The HotShots

Balkan FunkEthnoElectricDrum & Bass

Funky fills and rhythms, jazzy-bluesy chords, a spacey reggae feel, ethno-folk pulses and drum and bass energy — all colliding at once. Their lyrics carry social criticism alongside dreams, principles and fears; their sound weaves old folk tunes and rhymes into something modern, electrically eclectic, and impossible to pin down.

Best served live. This is one of those bands where recordings are wonderful, but the room changes everything.

Transylvanian Symphonic Tales
Orchestral · 50+ Musicians

Transylvanian
Symphonic Tales

OrchestralSymphonicFolk · ContemporaryEclectic

A spectacular vocal–symphonic concert featuring more than 50 musicians from Transylvania, pushing the boundaries of an eclectic musical format. Koszika & The HotShots and their guest artists perform reimagined Hungarian and Romanian folk songs alongside original compositions — all accompanied by a full symphony orchestra.

The whole thing unfolds in a fully 21st-century soundscape: colorful, eclectic, and electric — a passage between folkloric, classical, and contemporary musical languages.

Funkylvania
Artist Residency · Creative Camp

Funkylvania

ResidencyLive SessionsCollaborationCreation Sessions

Funkylvania is an artist residency and creative camp that supports musical, artistic and literary production and research. Its signature practice is the Creation Session: artists come together, create a piece that same day, and record a full video by evening.

Fast, intuitive and collaboration-driven — a space where ideas don't sit in notebooks. They become sound immediately.

Folktronica Orchestra
Folk · Electronic · Orchestral

Folktronica Orchestra

FolkElectronicOrchestralContemporary

Where traditional Transylvanian folk meets electronic production and full orchestral arrangements. The Folktronica Orchestra reimagines ancient songs through a modern sonic lens — synths and samples woven through strings, brass, and voices, all without losing the soul of where the melodies came from.

It's folk music plugged in, literally and figuratively: roots and circuits in the same room, carrying old stories into contemporary ears.

Neo SoulNu-FolkShamanic21st Century

Playing with nu-folk and neo-soul influences, overcoming the borders of genres and cultures. A modern approach to traditional sounds — old, shamanic vibrations combined with a 21st-century sonority.

The place between worlds. That liminal space between what folk music once was and what it might still become.

Koszika & Tiberius String Quartet
Chamber · Strings · Crossover

Koszika &
Tiberius String Quartet

ChamberStringsCrossoverClassical · Folk

The Tiberius String Quartet — based in TimiÈ™oara and celebrated across Romania — meets Koszika in a chamber setting where classical precision meets folk expression. Violin, viola, cello, voice: four strings and a voice that knows every folk song by heart, translating Transylvanian melodies into arrangements that belong in a concert hall.

Intimate. Reverent. The quiet cousin of everything else she does. Proof that the same voice that lights up a Balkan funk stage also belongs in chamber music.

Koszika & Balogh Kálmán
Folk · World Music · Cimbalom

Koszika &
Balogh Kálmán

FolkWorld MusicJazzCimbalom

When Balogh Kálmán — master of the cimbalom and an iconic figure of the world music scene — meets Koszika, a special musical space opens: the balance of tradition and improvisation, purity and playful experimentation. Folk, world music and jazz intertwine freely: at times a Balkan pulse, at times Hungarian–Romanian folklore, at times free improvisation.

Intimate and energetic, lyrical and liberating. In live concerts the project expands with Novák Csaba on double bass and György Mihály on acoustic guitar.

Koszika & Szász Csaba Duo
Folk · Acoustic

Koszika &
Szász Csaba Duo

FolkAcousticTransylvanian Tales

The most fun you can have with a singer and a guitar — or a ukulele, or sometimes a violin. Koszorus Krisztina and her partner in crime, Szász Csaba, bring together popular songs, traditional folk tunes, and their own inventions in a format that somehow feels both ancient and completely alive.

Their concert Transylvanian Tales raises international awareness of the vast and beautiful music of their region — bridging cultures, overcoming borders and genres.

Fanfara Complexa feat. Koszika
Brass · Balkan · Fanfare Tradition

Fanfara Complexa
feat. Koszika

BrassBalkanFanfareRomani Tradition

A full-ensemble collaboration rooted in the fanfara tradition — the Romanian brass band lineage that carries centuries of wedding, funeral, and festival music in its bones. Saxophones, clarinets, accordions, cimbalom, mandolin, and Koszika's voice in the middle of it all, weaving through instrumental storms.

Loud, joyful, and grounded in the music of the Transylvanian and Balkan countryside. This is village music with professional chops — the kind that makes 200 people dance in a field at midnight.

Swing à la Django
Gypsy Jazz · Manouche · Six-Piece Band

Swing à la Django

Gypsy JazzManoucheFrench ChansonTango · JazzHot Club Swing

An innovative six-piece band that has proven its talent many times over, in Hungary and abroad. Authentic Hungarian music, French chansons, world manouche swing, tango and jazz — fused into something they call Hungarian swing django.

At concerts they go back to the roots — music inspired by Django Reinhardt, the greatest Belgian-born gypsy jazz guitarist — evoking the atmosphere of the 1930s and '40s while remaining irresistibly present.
