Csík Band filmed the first music video in its 37-year history at the Nagykőrös Cannery.

The Csík Ensemble, as one of the most popular ensembles in our country, combines Hungarian folk music with contemporary musical trends, while respectfully preserving traditions. 2025 is a kind of era boundary for the ensemble, as in the hope of renewal and addressing a young audience, folk musician Tibor Gál became the band’s new lead singer. Another milestone is that the band’s first film video clip was made for the song “Közbeszólt az ég”. “A few years ago, my friend András Lovasi asked me for a song for his new solo album, which was just being planned, and I wrote it in a few days. Of course, there were no lyrics, because that was András’s job. Then that album somehow didn’t want to be finished, but I thought about the song a lot. It just so happened that the theme arising from my life situation at the time suddenly gave birth to my own lyrics, and “The Sky Intervened” was finished. The interesting thing is that in 2019, András recorded his own version with the lyrics “Brave dreams live far away from me…”. So there are now two versions of the song. And although they don’t really resemble each other, I think that’s what makes this music beautiful and exciting. It gives everyone something different,” highlights Attila Szabó, the song’s lyricist and composer.

The starting point of the clip is that the Kovács and Partners Brewery is getting a new name: from now on, it’s simply Kovács Befőtt. “When I listened to the song, I immediately thought of Egészséges Erotika and Emir Kusturica, the song cried out for a little romantic absurdity. That’s how the idea of ​​Kovács and Co. Befőttgyár was born, where Kovács’s partner gets divorced in the meantime, so it’s just Kovács Befőtt. The band really liked the concept, they also loved the eighties atmosphere. They got the wonderful Áron Őze as the main character. We ended up writing and directing the video together with Péter Hajmási, and at the idea of ​​the cinematographer, Dani Kiszler, we shot the whole thing on 16 and 8 millimeter film,” says Lőrinc Fazakas, director.

Shooting the video was an exceptional experience for the entire band. “It’s still unbelievable that I can be in the band at the age of 20, I’ve learned a lot in just over 1 year. I’ve been able to play with them at many concerts in the past, and I was able to be a part of the band’s first video clip, which I think is very creative, funny and thought-provoking at the same time,” says Tibor Gál, the youngest member of the band.

On January 4, 2026, the Csík Band will hold a New Year’s Eve concert at the Congress Center, where they will not only celebrate the new year, but also the fact that they started dressing pop hits in folk music 20 years ago. Guests such as Norbi Bagossy, Viki Lábas, András Lovasi, Tibi Kiss will take the stage this evening, but Közbeszólt az ég will also be performed.
