I am happy to welcome you to the first Dorombuli festival! The festival was entirely built around the theme of the Jew's harp instrument. There will be workshops where you will be able to make your own Jew’s harp. You will use cold or hot metal (forge) to work on the instrument.

Of course you can also learn to play on them. There will be many colorful bands from all around the world, from Italy to Russia. You are all welcome from the heart!

The performers of Dorombuli possess astonishing ancient knowledge that they have acquired in different parts of the world. All of this knowledge will be concentrated in Hungary for a few days during this summer, and anyone can become a part of it during our family-atmosphere festival.

The ancient instrument brings the power of nature back to life and helps us to regain balance with the wonderful world that is around us even in these modern times. We will be able to achieve this balance during the Dorombuli festival in August. The jaw harp’s pure sounds transmit peace and love which is increasingly needed these days. 

Probably just the nationality of the performers and their musical repertoire are more colorful than the ancient instrument’s euphony tunes. The band with Transylvanian roots called Zord perfectly combines the jaw harp, the powerful drums, and the soft violin, which creates an inimitable ethno trance music. The multi-ethnic Varkocs combines Hungarian, Slovak, Czech and Ruthenian folk music, imbued with ancient energy and brought back to life with modern instrumentation.

On Saturday, the world-famous shaman Olena Uutai will conjure up a unique experience at Dorombuli. The healing shaman with Siberian origin not only plays on countless traditional instruments and piano, but she can also bring the sounds of nature to life during her performance. Dabo Band is a world music project that perfectly combines ancient and new music using the jaw harp.

According to DzsinnKaladzsi’s motto, music is the universal language. Their spiritual music creates a connection with the earth, the sky and all living beings in the name of peace. Rob Robinzen has been studying the art of music healing for many years. In his music, he combines ancient Hindu shamanism with the Hungarian soundscape.

If you are keen on hearing a truly unique music production, you should definitely not miss Vatafaka. According to the band's own admission, they never practice together and completely improvise during each of their concerts which is, as they say, nothing more than just a joint performance of different musicians.

The northern Italian trio called Tribeba revives the forgotten musical traditions of the western part of the Alps with the help of the jaw harp.

The Hungarian Earth Jam brings the ancient rhythms to life in a modern electronic form, that the Jaw harp makes whole. Their concert always unfolds into an amazing dance party.

At our family-friendly festival, we can not only be external observers of the ancient instrument. With the help of the Italian Luca Boggio and the Slovak Martin Oberta, we can make our own jaw harp for free at their workshop. With Áron Szilágyi - to whom we owe the revival of the Hungarian jew’s harp art - we will be able to learn how to play this ancient instrument ourselves.

Come and become one with the healing vibration!
