From Orpheia Record label: "Born Nov. 11, 1976 in Hungary, Beata Palya has been dancing and singing in her village's folk music group since she was a child. She won first prize in the regional singing competition on three occasions. Since the age of 16, she has been singing and dancing with the group Karpatia (traditional Moldavian music). She pursued the study of Hungary's culture of song, particularly that of the Moldavian region. ...she began her acting career in the Hungarian troupe Bladder Circus, where she played and sang in three musicals: The Bladder circus (1997), The Bitter Lunatics (1998), A Thousand and One Sinbad (1999). In addition to folk singing in its various forms, she also uses her voice in learning the singing styles of the baroque period, Persia and India, for which she holds a particular admiration. ... Awarded the Artisjus prize for music in Hungary in December 2002, she officially launched her public career as a soloist in January 2003. In this year she gave her first concerts in Paris: with the group Folkestra at the Maroquinerie, and solo at the Institut Hongrois for Europe Day... Roots and influences: Traditional Hungarian folk music: Beata first learned singing in the folk music 'school', beginning with that of her own culture. And traditional music as such was primarily born from the expression of emotions. Certainly in the daily life of the villages of old, there were aesthetic and community roles for music, but the most important was its psychological role: to sing was to express what was in one's heart -- its joy, its pain.
