The Hungarian language is strange like the voice of Béla Lugosi, difficult
but crystal-clean like a concerto of Béla Bartók. But the Hungarian language
is fluid like the lyrics of Grandmaster Flash. And Hungarians like rap!
Hungarians use rap! And it's not a crap! Are you ready to rap?
There are some great hiphop illusionists in this country who perfectly use
the Hungarian language for rap: so we proudly present the underground hiphop baronesses of Hungary, Ludditák!
The hiphop band was founded by two sistaz, MC Móki (Marianna Fiáth) and MC
Tita (Titanilla Fiáth) in 2000. The band name comes from the English movement of the 19th century against the steam-engines. Ludditák rapidly
became local heroes with massive help of the most popular underground radio, Radio Tilos. Their first demo CD was a mixture of home-made hiphop-loops and unique and funny lyrics in 2003 but it was downloaded from all around Hungary. This work already introduces the sparkling sense of humor, the ironic world of the gals' lyrics about bike-runners, the subcultures in
Budapest, the country life or how to become Britney Spears.
The duo made soundtracks for some films like Sohasevolt Glória, but the
multi-award-winner animation, The District (Nyócker) gave the fame with
their track of the whores.
The next album Porcogó was came quickly and released in 2005 (Playground
Records) by two DJs-producers, Párizs and Nafta who helpled them to build
groovy hiphop beats under the lyrics. Yep, Porcogó is a real hiphop album
with real schlagers from funk to rock, from funny folk to hiphop beats, and
yes, with real special guests like the funk-soul diva Noryka, the oldschool
hiphop-biker legend Buppa, the Jack Black-look-like rock-journalist MC
Wanted and the post-punk supergroup Hippikiller (the metronome of the Nation - Ferenc Gerdesits from Quimby, the bassplayer veteran - András Mezei, the guitarist Miki Csala who replaced by the guitar virtuoso Gábor Vastag and the rock-journalist-meets-Ted Nugent-guitarist Balázs Bihari).
Last year Ludditák promoted their album live with the Ludditák Live
Show, played many, many times all around Hungary from the clubs to the
biggest festivals like Sziget 2006 with sold out gigs. Now the band is
working on the new '007 CD. Their brand new show No Feng Shui will debute at Transmediale Fest, Berlin with more vocals, more punk, more strange lyrics
under the language Edward Teller.
