Félix Lajkó
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Félix Lajkó (Serbian: Феликс Лајко, Feliks Lajko) (born December 17, 1974) is an ethnic Hungarian "world music" violinist and composer born in Bačka Topola, SAP Vojvodina, SR Serbia, Yugoslavia.
In 2006, he wed Laura Lajko, and they have a young daughter named Léda. The family resides in Subotica, Serbia, near Palic Lake.
Lajkó's music is difficult to categorize; it is based on wide spectrum of influences of traditional string music from Pannonian plain. It can be viewed as a specific form of jazz, but based on traditional music of Hungary and Vojvodina.
He is a virtuoso violinist, playing with great fervor and passion, and occasionally he plays other traditional instruments, such as Citera. On concerts, he usually performs with his small band, but sometimes also plays solo violin.
He played the main character in Kornél Mundruczó's movie: Delta, which won a small prize in Cannes and was nominamted for the Golden Palm too. Lajkó also composed the music of this movie.
