Today is the last day of the 2023 A to Z Challenge, and for my Z entry, I’d like to share a Hungarian pop song by Szabó Balázs Bandája called "Zaj."
According to the Hungarian Wikipedia, Balázs Szabó (I think Szabó is his family name) "is a Hungarian singer, songwriter, composer, multi-instrumentalist, puppeteer and storyteller. He is the founder of the bands Suhancos, active between 2005 and 2009, and the Bandája Balázs Szabó, founded in 2009." I’ve learned from this page that the song is from their 2011 album Keressük! The lyrics are on that page as well. You can the the lyrics translated into English here.
And that’s it for the A to Z Challenge for 2023! Thanks for joining us!

I wnjoyed this with the unique instruments. A great way to finish the A to Z.

Congrats on finishing the A to Z this year, John! Especially with a trip to the hospital in the middle of it all.

I think I’m about 95% right now. Still have a few twinges, but that’s probably more to do with normal aches and pains. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ok, I must tell you the music matches the running of Stampy your elephant in the pink sneakers. It’s like I’m watching a movie of Stampy desperately trying to get somewhere.

Good ol’ Stampy! I used him in a couple of posts, and people liked it so much I decided to make him a permanent feature.

It’s a lot harder than I had expected, but then I think I was overthinking things a wee bit. Glad you enjoyed it!
