Napfonat is an energetic and enigmatic female a cappella ensemble comprising five singers and songwriters. At the heart of their multicultural musical language is the polyphony of five female voices, exploring themes of shared human experience, community, and sisterhood. 

 Their debut album, Szól a Világ, was shortlisted for the 2022 FONOGRAM Award as one of the five best folk and world music albums of the year. Their second album, Harmatcseppben él a világ bennem, reached No. 11 on the World Music Charts Europe in 2023.

 Napfonat has toured extensively throughout Hungary and the wider Central and Eastern European region, appearing at venues and festivals including MÜPA, Magyar Zene Háza, Fonó, and the Valley of Arts. The ensemble has also appeared as featured guests in performances by internationally renowned artists Bea Palya and Sena Dagadu.

 Admission free. You are warmly invited!
