Edda művek

Biography

Edda Művek is a highly successful Hungarian rock band formed in 1973 under the name "Griff". The word "művek" (works) symbolizes the band originally starting off its career in Miskolc, a typical Central European industrial city also dubbed as "Steel City" Edda's catchy, melodic rock tunes and touching ballads focus primarily on the social and emotional life of youth, love, sexuality, cultural identity, politics and predicaments of a society faced with uncertain economic times. The band performs more than one hundred shows annually throughout Hungary and surrounding Hungarian communities around the Carpathian Basin. However, the energetic and inventive musicianship that EDDA's known for, is best reflected through their dynamic live performances.
