Song Brothers

Tibor Kiss, singer and songwriter of Quimby band, went to rehab and then wrote one of their most emblematic song Broken Glass Paradise. The Hungarian Csík Band covered it years later and the song became more popular than anyone would have thought (15 million views on YouTube). The key to their success is a new style: they cover pop or rock songs using folk instruments and motifs. Their way to the top was not an easy ride: János Csík had an almost lethal car accident and it’s a miracle that he is able to play again. The Csík Band worked a folk motif known in the Erdőszombattelke region in Transilvania into the song. The folk band who used this motif lives in a god-forgotten part of the country, playing for decades, but recently they lost the cohesive force from the band: one member passed away. In each band they need to face resumption somehow and their stories unit in this emblematic song.
