The Peruvian drummer and Percussionist Alex Acuña, in his visit in Budapest at the workshop, he leaves us a good times, memories and of course, a lot of teachings that were, at least personally, more than just technics and information, was also the pleasure, the joy and even make us realize the luck to play percussion that at the end is the foundation of the basic music expression. when we play we need to count , yes! but mostly count with others and with the music it self, thats gives the real smooth and pleasure to play, and then we all can spread this joy to others.
Thank you Karcsi and Ethnosound to make this happen!
Thank you Alex, hope to see you again!

David's Concert at Gödör, 28 of January 2012.
At 9 o’clock we open the concert with the Gaita (Colombian native flute) playing „Cuatro palomas” original tune of Juan Lara from Los Gaiteros de San Jacinto that we arranged with some accords and gives some

By the second song the ambient already was warm and we all were having a good trip, musicians and audience...
The combination of some smooth tunes with some Latin sound was making the magic, we as a band had a really nice vibe and journey...the audience express it as well, they never lie, we know that,
Gödör that very cold night, had a little melancholic air with just hours ahead of life at Erzsébet tér... but as always, the unique ambient that the people and the place together in combination is making never deceive the real character of a multi-cultural and cosmopolitan venue that should and will prevail in Budapest!
Thank you Gödör to give the opportunity to all of us to experiment in the city the rich variety of colors that the Arts can offer, music, theatre, exibitions, social afairs,human rights,social equality, unique performances, modern artistic expresions, children time...and much more that for sure is appreciate not only by the public in general but as we as artist as well.
Köszönöm szépen!

David's , new project --- something davidelyco...

David Dely and Company or in other words, "Davidelyco", as the unique sound of his music that is the latest production that this singer-composer and multinstrumentalist is launching this year, is based on songs that he has been composing over the years, most of them in Hungary, his home since 2001,
Dely is already known as the founder and band leader of Tumba y Quema, a music group that has been on the Budapest music scene since 2004 and is characterized by their modern Latin-afro-Colombian sound
that makes people vibrate with the drumming and the groove of the Latin blood. Now in this new project David is showing his other side: that of smooth tunes with Latin colors and some new proposals in their sound world… Most of the lyrics are in Spanish as part of the instrumentation and a native label of the author. In this lineup he also has violin, double bass, small percussions, ethnic flutes and a special role for the guitar and other string instruments

This proposal brings a new “Psychedelic, in Spanish Psicodelico” world of music as an invitation to a journey that David wants to share with you, inspired by artists such as the Brazilian Caetano Veloso, the Cuban Carlos Varela, or the Dominican Juan Luis Guerra, among others.

David Dely és Zenekara, másszóval “Davidelyco”, hangszer-virtuóz, énekes és dalszerző legújabb produkciójával egy valóban egyedülálló hangzásvilágot tár a hallgatóság elé. Az elmúlt évek szerzeményei ezek a dalok, melyek többsége itt született Magyarországon, ahol 2001 óta él.
Dely a Tumba y Quema együttes alapítójaként ismert, mely 2004 óta rendszeresen szerepelt Budapest és az ország zenei szin...terein; jellegzetes ismertetőjegye a modern afro-latin-kolumbiai ritmusban megszólaló hang, a latin vér dobolása és mámora, mely igazi felpezsdítő hatással van az emberre.
Most, Dávid új produkciójával egy új oldalát mutatja meg: néhány új ötlettel fűszerezve a latin színek finom hangzású vonásait festi a hangok “palettájára”.
A dalszövegek többsége spanyol nyelven íródott a hangszerelés és a szerző származása részeként. Ebben az új felállásban a hegedű mellett megszólal a nagybőgő, ütőhangszerek, furulyák és különös szerep jut a gitárnak és más húros hangszernek.
Ez az új kínálat valóban “tudatot kitágító”, spanyolul “Psicodelico” hangzásvilágot teremt: meghívás egy utazásra, amit Dávid szeretne megosztani a közönséggel, mely egy olyan nagyszerű zenészek által inspirált zenei világba csalja el az utazni vágyót, mint: a brazil Caetano Veloso, a kubai Carlos Valera és a dominikai Juan Luis Guerra.

Learning rhythm 'a necessity'
talks to percussion artist and teacher David Dely
By: Moni Oyeyele
You could confidently say that Colombian-Hungarian David Dely has music in his veins. Having been inspired by a family where almost everyone is a musician and/or a teacher, he could hardly have chosen any other fate than building a successful musical career. Besides his artistry, however, he also cares about sharing his knowledge with people longing for the rhythm. “It is a positive surprise to experience the growing number of Hungarians who want to learn the drum, and the way they seek out skills that are not traditional here,” the 32-year-old artist-pedagogue says. “Hand drum techniques and rhythms are mostly related to African and Latin American musical styles and dances; their liveliness and cheerfulness can almost be therapeutic for stressed city folk in Europe.”The son of Hungarian percussionist István Dely and Colombian singer/songwriter Leonor Dely, David was raised on the Caribbean Coast, in the very heartland of Afro-Colombian folklore and Gabriel García Márquez’s magical realism.
As a musician, he grew up amidst the Afro-Caribbean drums and native American flutes of his father’s percussion school, where he was at the same time learning and teaching the spirit of the “tribal-global” approach to music for more than 15 years.
At the Music Academy of Bogotá, he already had several students and followers in style.
With his wife, who is also a singer, Dely moved to Hungary in 2001, and, since then, with his re-established band Tumba y Quema, he has played at all significant capital and countryside music festivals, and produced a CD, while continuing to teach.
Besides individual lessons, given either in English, Spanish or Hungarian, he highly values percussion workshops, where conga- and djembe- players of various levels gather and, following Dely’s instructions, develop or refine their skills, always ending the workshop with a percussion jam.
“I also deal with professional players, acting as a kind of rhythm-clinic”, he says.
“One can always further develop him or herself, and a real artist is always humble and diligent to learn new things. Through teaching, I also learn a lot, even today.”

“One can always further develop him or herself, and a real artist is always humble and diligent to learn new things. Through teaching, I also learn a lot, even today.”
Heartbeat

But why should one learn to play the drum, and not another instrument? “The very first thing a fetus hears in its mother’s womb is the rhythm of her heartbeat, and rhythms escort us throughout our entire life,” Dely says.
“Learning the drum, it is most ideal to start as early as four or five years, but it is never too late: one can start in their 40s or 50s, and still achieve a relatively good level.
“Indeed, percussions are one of the best instruments to start with. A drum is such a generous instrument: unlike, for instance, a violin or a saxophone, it gives you a feeling of success even in the early stage of learning. In addition, rhythm is the skeleton of music; there is no music without rhythm. So once you get the beat, you will have some music!”
Once you have made up your mind to “get the beat,” Dely recommends starting with a conga. “It is an instrument that has lots of opportunities to play, however, to get the correct technique of hitting it and getting the right sound out of it is not too easy at first.
“But once you master that sound, you will know the basic ‘sounding’ technology of most other types of drum, including djembe-, congalegre, and darbuka. It is similar to first having to learn the classical guitar before moving on to bass guitar.”
Dely is also a talented gaita (a traditional Colombian flute) and Andian flute performer, and an experienced guitarist. Those instruments, however, are mainly used for his composing and performing work.
The artist believes musical education should be taken more seriously, regardless of one’s age and profession.
Music and rhythm are powerful tools for taking people away from loneliness, sorrow or simple idleness – besides, playing the drum with friends can be such fun, almost an addiction.
“The vibration of drums impacts one both physically and psychologically. I believe listening to and learning good rhythms is a necessity for any healthy person,” Dely summarizes.
My other objective, besides teaching music, is to make people get the feeling of respect for why they are doing something. You must be conscious that you are not only learning to play on a drum, but to interrelate with other things and creations in your environments,” explained David Dely.
“I am very happy when my former students or workshop participants come back to me, saying that, although they didn’t become professional drummers, they learnt how to enjoy it, and that enjoyment brought other enjoyments to them, and so helped their life.”

Live concert at Gödör Klub Music Hall Budapest...and more.
Live on the 28th of August, Gödör, Downtown Budapest, Hungary. The group has appeared at all the major Hungarian world music festivals and in many well known alternative clubs. Most of their numbers are composed by David Dely, the group's percussionist and leader. They are based on Colombian and Afro-Caribbean rhythms and spiced with a wide variety of global music influences. Their music always radiates the joie de vivre characteristic of the Caribbean, a melting pot of races and cultures. The Spanish xpression 'tumba y quema' refers to the slash and burn technique used to clear tropical rainforests, but it is also used in a figurative sense: when you want to start something new, you first have to burn your old junk. Moreover, in some regions of Latin America the word "tumba" is used for various kinds of drums and dances. Music & Drums from Colombia, with the afrocolombian spirit empowered by modern beats of rock, reggae, hip-hop and afrobeat. Tumba y Quema has developed its own sound combining different styles and rhytms from Colombia, Caribbean countries and the African influence whithin those cultures, using at the same time standard musical concepts such as rock , hip-hop, reggae, brazilian rhythms, afrobeat, jazz and more. Tumba y Quema goes beyond by adding strength and richness to its groove with rhythms and music styles from other culture, that is to say, oriental patterns and traditional melodies from Hungary, India, West Africa, Australia, Spain, NorthAmerica, attempting thus to ilustrate with its music the concept of Unity in Diversity. All this, we call it TRIBALGLOBAL.
Claudia Andrade: Lead vocal David Dely:Percussion ,flutes, guitar Shango Dely: congas, Alegre Drum Marton Takacs:Tambora drum, percussion Aldo Acevedo: Bass Kovacs Norbert: Drums Kovacs Balint: guitar. Tumba y Quema`s main influence comes from Millero Congo, the pioneer of TRIBALGLOBAL, founded by Istvan Dely - who was the first conga player in the history of Latin Music in Western Europe - and formed by his Family (Istvan, Leonor (his wife), and their two sons David and Shangó). The band's story starts over 30 years ago when Istvan Dely receives the title, given by his drum-master, of Millero Congo in cuba in his early years of formation as a percussionist. In 1984, with his own family, he creates „El Cabildo de tambores Millero Congo,"
The first formal percussion school and experimental root fusion band in Colombia. Coming from this school, the two boys, David and Shango, years later become important percussionist and musicians in their home land as well as abroad, performing and recording for superstars Carlos Vives and Carlos Santana, among others, collaborating with great producer KC Porter, composing and leading their own bands and experiments, and creating their own percussion school which goes around in Europe, the „DelyPercussion School." Tumba Y Quema's lead vocal, composer and founder of the band, David Dely explains: „ .The world today is living a time of synthesis; it is dificult to have only one influence in this world of diversity. Precisely that is what brings about the beauty of this era. I think every sound on the street, every song on the radio, every musician around, influences me and my music".

The group has been appeared at all the major hungarian festivals and in many alternative clubs. The musical world of Tumba y Quema is based on Colombian and Afro-Caribbean rhytms, spiced with a wide varitey of global music influences and this Latin spirit is empowered by modern beats of rock, reggae, hip-hop and afro-beat. Their music always radiates the joie de vivre characteristic of the Caribbean, a melting pot of races and cultures. In the concept of Unity in Diversity the group experiments with the rhytm and style of the world’s cultures that makes its unique sound.
Their songs are composed by Dávid Dely, the leader and percussionist of the group. Dávid is a musician, composer, multi-instrumentalist, founder of Tumba y Quema. His experience starts within his family, in Millero Congo as a percussionist. Later he takes part in several musical projects with many other musicians as well as folkloric, experimental and modern groups. After moving to Hungary in the recent years, he is dedicated to compose, produce and play music for different types of productions and artists with divers styles both acoustic and elecrtonic.
The secret of Tumba y Quema resides in that the modern sound doesn’t cover up the the traditional Afro-Caribbean folkloric roots.
