The biggest rock flashmob in Central Europe - CityRocks 2019 - Kecskemét (Hungary) WEB ▶ http://cityrocks.eu FACEBOOK ▶ https://www.facebook.com/cityrocksproductions INSTAGRAM ▶ https://www.instagram.com/cityrocksproductions/ Kecskemét city ▶ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kecskem%C3%A9t Quinientos músicos, de todas las edades, juntos para disfrutar de una tarde de rock. Hemos estado en la segunda edición del flashmob Cityrocks, en la ciudad húngara de Kecskemét. Un evento que se inspiró en una quedada similar que se hizo en Italia, hace un par de años, pero que tiene una peculiaridad: apuesta por el rock local. "Se han organizado muchos eventos como éste en todo el mundo, en Rusia o en Brasil, por ejemplo, pero en todos tocaban canciones en inglés, y pensé que hay tantas buenas canciones de rock húngaro, que deberíamos hacer nuestro propio flashmob", ha explicado Ferenc Gajda, organizador de CityRocks. Seis de las doce canciones que se tocaron fueron de grupos húngaros. Las otras seis, conocidos himnos del rock. Los músicos, todos húngaros, aunque algunos venidos desde lejos. "Vivo cerca de Munich, en Alemania, desde hace 10 años. Toco el bajo y cuando vi que este año el evento era en Kecskemét, me apunté de inmediato", ha dicho uno de los asistentes. "Sigo las noticias húngaras y vi la edición del año pasado, así que estaba emocionado... y con la esperanza de estar aquí este año", ha contado un húngaro expatriado en Canadá. Queen, Depeche Mode o Metallica... El objetivo, muy simple: disfrutar de la música. "El primer flashmob de Cityrocks se organizó el año pasado en la ciudad húngara de Szeged. Este año, a Kecskemét han acudido un centenar de músicos más, lo que demuestra que este evento se ha hecho popular en muy poco tiempo", ha explicado Beatrix Asboth, periodista de Euronews. CityRocks was founded by a group of friends and musicians in Szeged, Hungary, 2017. The initiative considers its mission to raise the banner of live music and rock creating monumental concerts by hundreds of musicians. The connecting force and energy that is felt running during these events also helped CityRocks build an ever-growing community of professional musicians, semi-pros, and beginners with an age range from 8 to 72, people who in some cases never had their chance to play in front of an audience. Inspired by the pioneering performance of the Italian Rockin1000, organizing the first rock flashmob (SzegedRocks 2018) in Hungary was soon set in motion, which, after a year of preparation, attracted a 400 strong crowd of Hungarian and foreign musicians. The videos shot of the gigantic gig went viral reaching a mass audience in their millions worldwide. CityRocks is also responsible for launching a Summer Rock ‘Boot Camp’ in June, 2019, the highlight of which was when 50 musicians gave a show on a moving truck (RockTruck) crisscrossing the streets of Szeged while jamming out Hungarian and international classic rock hits for hours on end. In September, 2019 the flashmob was further developed into a second event moved to yet another town and now labelled as KecskemétRocks. More than 500 participants from all over Europe—including Finland, Austria, Germany, and various countries in the Carpathian Basin—arrived to Kecskemét, Hungary to give a full-blown concert of 12 rock covers in front of a massive and dedicated audience. Attracting teens and veterans from all walks of life, die- hard fans and enthusiasts with different political, religious, and social background, this series of flashmobs repeatedly propagate a sense of community and togetherness, and do so by simply offering people an opportunity to perform and play music in the spirit of harmony and cooperation. For this reason, City Rocks’ mission is twofold: while advocating live music and rock, it strives to unite a diverse and inclusive community of music-loving fans from all over the world. Further flashmobs, camps, and special performances are to follow in the future, which will be continuously announced on CityRocks’ website and Facebook profile. #euronews #flashmob #cityrocks #cover #rockfestival #rockflashmob #musicians #drummers #kecskemét #hungary #livemusic #músicos
