Ashanta Csergo, Katalin Tamas and Melinda McCarthy formed the band, Palinka, in London, after studying music in various villages of Romania and Hungary. They have been brought together by their shared passion: Hungarian, Romanian and Gypsy music from the remote villages of Transylvania.
Palinka, incidentally, is the most famous spirit drunk in Transylvania and the band spent most of July in Transylvania and Hungary to learn amazing new songs to bring back to you to London. Palinka can be seen playing outside Inn on the Green, in April, at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJV6JyxSIeQ .
