The biggest rock flashmob in Central Europe - CityRocks 2019 - Kecskemét (Hungary)

Το μεγαλύτερο ροκ συγκρότημα στην Κεντρική Ευρώπη
Περισσότεροι από 500 μουσικοί και τραγουδιστές συγκεντρώθηκαν στην πόλη Κετσκεμετ της Ουγγαρίας για να πραγματοποιήσουν μία μοναδικη συναυλία.

Έπαιξαν όλοι μαζί 12 δημοφιλή κομμάτια της διεθνούς μουσικής σκηνής.

Το μουσικό φεστιβάλ Cityrocks, εμπνεύστηκε από ανάλογη δράση που είχε γίνει δύο χρόνια πριν στην Ιταλία δεκάδες δημιουργοί οι οποίοι τραγούδησαν μαζί.

Οι περισσότεροι μουσικοί ήταν Ούγγροι ταξίδεψαν όμως αρκετοί και από τον Καναδά και την Γερμανία.

Εκτός από τα γνωστά Ουγγρικά τραγούδια, υπήρξαν καλλιτέχνες από όλο τον κόσμο που τραγούδησαν ροκ κομμάτια των Queen και των Metallica.

«Το πρώτο Cityrocks διοργανώθηκε πέρυσι στην πόλη Σεγκεν. Φέτος ήρθαν 100 περισσότεροι μουσικοί κάτι που δείχνει ότι αυτή η διοργάνωση έχει γίνει πολύ δημοφιλής μέσα σε σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα».

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.
