Happiness express

a musical time travel

Translated by::

Do you know when the TV Bear was born? How much time did the first person spend in space? Who invented the mini-skirt? Did you hear that Comrade Pelikán had to wait ten years to be finally presented in the cinema? And what happens when Ultra gets on the table? And if you thought that Kékes is “just” a mountain, you are mistaken! Also, what in the world did Kudlik Júlia do on Monday evenings?
When did a globe of ice cream cost 50 cents? Have you ever tasted a banana that tasted like a lemon?
Join us for an exciting time travel to the second half of the sixties, when legends were born every week. We will invoke the characters of the golden age of television, the world of Song Festivals, favourites of the public – then and now –, and all the while, we will listen to those unforgettable melodies, the golden age of Hungarian pop music will be revived.
Bu beware! The gate through time works both ways, and any moment, our day to day reality can wake us right up from this colourful dream.
