A Hungarian band with 500 members has become an internet hit – VIDEO

After debuting last year on the main square of Szeged, the 400 musicians who made up the CityRocks group at the time never dreamed of becoming a huge hit on the internet.

As reported by sokszinuvidek.24.hu, this September, at an event called KecskemétRocks in Kecskemét, the band – whose number of members swelled to over 500 – performed together and in sync a range of songs, both in Hungarian and in English.

The production stage of the recordings was only completed this month and the music videos were released on the 8^th of October.

Thanks to the internet, their work was quickly spread across the world. Media outlets that are accessible in multiple languages – such as Euronews and Youtube – played a big role in contributing over 5.5 million views to their videos overall already.

Currently they have full music videos for three songs: Enter Sandman by Metallica, Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode and Mielőtt Elmegyek by Bikini.

However, they have also released a compilation video of various songs, which includes We Will Rock You by Queen and Joan Jett’s I Love Rock and Roll. They might release additional music videos for these, putting their tally of songs to 5. Is a possible album and DVD on the cards?

Recently we reported Will Smith‘s fascination with Hungarian folk music. We also wrote about the Hungarian who wrote Paraguay’s and Uruguay’s national anthems.
