Flare Beas
In October 2010 Devecser and Kolontár were flooded by red mud.
It was the most serious environmental catastrophe in Hungary.
The red flood killed ten people
and made hundreds of people homeless in the surrounding countryside.
Tibi's sister-in-law run up and said that there was something wrong here,
the river was red and we should have run and seen,
because it was flooding.
You could see fear and panic on policemen's faces,
and we hadn't believed it till they shouted in the loudspeaker,
that we have to leave the area immediately, because there was a very big catastrophe.
Their lives were destroyed by the river in half an hour.
-Bye. -Bye. See you soon.
The lower and the northern area of Devecser were evacuated,
everybody had to leave.
We came to my mother and my wife's mother,
and we were waiting.
Then we were informed of the main danger was over,
so the people were allowed to move back.
-Hi dear brother! -Hi!
The admittance to the stage is going to be after one o'clock,
we are setting the microphones and everything.
-Go inside, quickly. -Hurry up, don't catch cold!
-I take on my coat soon. -There is Jucus's father.
In some houses people moved in.
-Is that yours? -Yes, the yellow one.
The policeman asked us to take everybody out of the area.
I didn't bring anything along but this bag in my hand.
I could bring only this bag and the clothes I just wore.
But I had to take them off, Ervin borrowed me other pieces of clothes,
he distributed clothes among people till he had got any.
It was like a supply centre at Ervin.
These are Flare Beás collections,
this is a 19 years old collections.
This is me and one of our fans.
This photo was lying on the cupboard,
and as I tried to rip it off, it got stuck to the cupboard
and I could just take the half.
I didn't study this music,
we didn't study at any school of Music. It has come by itself.
-What is the name of the band? -Group Flare Beás.
Group Flare Beás from Devecser.
Flare means flower, the Beás is our ethnic group.
We play authentic, traditional Gipsy music.
In our music there are Beás and Lovári mixed.
What would you do if you were not allowed to play music anymore?
Oh, I really don't know.
Well, I think nobody could forbid me to play music.
This event the victims of the red sludge from Devecser and Kolontár will get an amount of money.
By Karitasz, the Hungarian Karitasz.
They really like this authentic Gipsy music,
and we play it in order to make people
from Devecser and Ajka relaxed.
-Good luck! -Thank you.
I like to help, I really like it.
Not because I have got more.
I am rich because I have got lot of experiences.
I belong here also, to this city.
I am an inhabitant of this city,
and I help here as other person would help in an inverse case.
So it doesn't matter the people' social background,
you can be Gipsy, Hungarian, German or anything else.
The point is that I live here,
and it's my duty to do something for my city.
