You might come across Joe Balogh anywhere: in the street, in a rehearsal room, in the
armchair of a concert hall, on a stage or, more recently, on the Internet. Hopelessly
addicted to jazz, rock and blues, Joe Balogh has always been his own magus, following his star all by himself. Thus, he has created a new path, beaten by those who knew how to follow it. If there weren’t music in the world, Joe would invent it. And if music became a lethal virus to mankind, he would still be the one to destroy the only existing antidote dose and go on doing exactly what he has always done – listen, sing, compose and organize concerts that he would, of course, listen to. With his eyes closed. An authentic cultural product of Oradea, having his roots in unrepeatable times, Joe Balogh is the musician who has never forgotten how to listen. He is a modern pirate of our days – he ‘steals’ wonderful things from the immeasurable wealth from everywhere and brings them, sometimes by force, into our reality, which grows ‘poorer’ every day. Welcome to his world ! |
