Béla on Facebook August 6th 2014. Today we recorded a new song, written for a big band and called: ”Music is all for me”. Music is everything. It feeds me and my life.

Béla on Facebook August 2nd 2014. Today we recorded a music video in pub Lapidarium in Cologne. It's a video for the song “Das Leben ohne Liebe” (Life without love is like soup without salt), written by the lady in the green skirt, former cabaret singer Christiane Schartner (stage name Jeanette Chéro). Next to her is German actor Ralf Richter, who plays a part in the clip too! I am so stoked about the project, I hope you'll love it when it's all done.

Béla’s newest CD: October 2010: Un soplo en el Aire (A breeze in the wind). “Music is a human thing, a warm thing, something that touches the heart.” That is the view of the world- famous Hungarian Béla Mavrák, who takes a great personal interest in the most far-flung tribes in the world. This quotation was the result of his visit to a tribe in Papua New Guinea, who received him as their first white visitor and adorned his farewell aria with unusual Aborigine vocals. His voice is heard and loved all over the globe. No lesser a personage than Lord Yehudi Menuhin accompanied the star tenor in 1999 at a concert performance in aid of the German Yehudi Menuhin Fund. It was from him that Mavrák adopted the humility of a great star which has gained him the worldwide affection of his fans, although since 2006 his international stage performances have become a little more ostentatious.

Star violinist André Rieu enlisted Béla Mavrák to join his ensemble and made him known to an audience of millions in all the continents of the world. Now, with “Un Soplo en el Aire” Mavrák has fulfilled a long-held dream in between his world tours with the great violinist Rieu from Maastricht. Whilst visiting Cuba he once again felt that strong urge to get to know the people and the origins of their culture. It was in some ways a melancholy experience, because the Cuba of the past has changed dramatically. His brand-new album expresses this change: grandiose vocals – Buena Vista feeling – passion and emotion! http://www.musicacubana.de/en/bela-mavrak-the-stars-of-buena-vista.html

What is Béla Mavrák doing in Western New Guinea? Is he performing for the people of the Dani tribe in the Baliem Valley? Or does he teach the Papuas to read the Cologne newspaper? Béla shows the Dani tribe chief an article in the Cologne newspaper about the upcoming release of his single “A Better Day”, recorded in New Guinea. Béla is among true friends. Ruud and Ineke were there in 1995 and the Dani’s are wonderful people.

August 2012: Béla Mavrák married Monica in Havana, Cuba. Congratulations Béla and Monica, we wish you lots of happiness.
