The popular Hungarian world music singer’s latest record with the title Adieu les complexes has been chosen into the European World Music Charts’ best 20 list. The list is created by radio world music experts from twenty-three European countries each month. It makes us proud that we can listen to Bea’s – who is by the way a friend of cafebabel.com in Budapest - beautiful songs in each European radio station.
Her music is influenced by Hungarian literature, Transylvanian gypsy music, Bulgarian folk melodies, jazz and has some Middle-East origins. Most of the songs are written by herself and she usually sings about love, loneliness and travelling.


Are you a student studiing in Budapest?

Bea Palya is Hungary's gem that is unknown to the rest of the world.
