ZÓRA (HU) + SunMa (HU) I Mladí ladí jazz 2023

ZÓRA, the 25 year old Hungarian-American singer songwriter is quickly making her way into people’s hearts. The California born artist splits her time between Los Angeles and Budapest, Hungary. Her Hungarian audience began to build after releasing live performances on youtube starting in 2020. With a signature deep tone and fiery lyrics, her songs revolve around avant-pop, alternative and cinematic soundscapes, continuously bending the bounds of genre labels, perfectly encapsulated in her English release "Back On You". Her recent accomplishments include the most prestigious Hungarian music accolade,  the Hungarian Fonogram Award for Best New Artist of 2022 and was nominated for Petőfi Award Best Female Artist and she has been selected for a Best New Talent award and Forbes 30 under 30.

With a growing following this past year Zóra proves to intrigue listeners as she sold out multiple concerts around Hungary. Such performances included her solo performances on a grand piano, while others included the addition of a band. Her candor between songs leads to an interactive experience with the audience, lending to a unique performance. Zóra is moving forward with her career both in Hungary and the US, and it is exciting to watch what she’s unfolding into in front of our eyes.

SunMa (András Koroknay) is a nomadic sound artist and Bassist, notable for making meditative sonic collages pulsing with earthy basslines. His musicality is deeply rooted in Dub which serves as the basis for forward-thinking approaches resulting in a sound that is vital and distinctive: Dub methodology with cross-genre influences such as spiritual jazz, hip-hop, and electronics, making his projects appealing to a wide variety of audiences. Well-known to his home scene Budapest, he regularly spends time in Berlin to record and play for acts like Àbáse and ZFEX, and India to study Tibetan language and Buddhist philosophy. On stage SunMa is joined by Ádám Klausz on drums and András Kálmán on keys forming a power trio setup.
