Zagar isn´t one of these fledgling hobbyist bands acting in the parents garage and the discovery of the computer and its unlimited musical possibilities are made by Balázs Zságer, the band leader of Zagar, a long time ago. Like the oblique period in which he was into jazz and piano improvisation. Zagar can look back on more than 150 concerts in the largest cities of Europe. In the circle of the quintet of Laszlo Fogarasi aka
Yonderboi, he shared the success of his album released in 2000 "Shallow and Profund". This album is together with the group
Anima Sound System crucial in the history of the Hungarian Electronic Music scene and wins the "Golden Giraffe" for the best album of the year - the largest national musical award in Hungary.
"These were the beginnings of the 'Lounge' music, really as an electrical started to go. The Yonderboi Quintet suddenly became known in Hungary and also managed to make a name for themselves abroad," recalls Zagar. The interviews are piling up, as are the performances in Germany, Austria, Holland, France and Russia... The musicians take on many different types of audiences.
"We were the guys who had come from an unknown country and I think people have this cultural difference that time felt".
Zagar now release the new single" Wings Of Love "and the new album "Cannot Walk, Fly Instead" in autumn 2009 on Mole Listening Pearls. The track "Prophet Is A Fool" is already a small foretaste of the exciting upcoming new album by Zagar.
