"This
is the most exciting moment in the history of African-Hungarian jazz. First
of all, We're finally really settled on a name of the band: Dallam-Dougou.
And the reason for this is that we're releasing a CD." |

|
About the name, Dallam-Dougou:
"Dallam" means melody in Hungarian and "Dougou"
means land or city in a bunch of West African languages, such as
Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. |

|
The members of the band are from many different countries
and walk of life, but they make wonderful music together. |

The elected officers of Dallam-Dougou are:
Abou Sylla (balafon), ambassador to Guinea and
America, Director of Verbal Communications (ie Blah Blah Blah) Kalman
"Ocsi" Magyar (fiddle & viola), ambassador to
