Get connected with Hungarian harmonies
Baku, May 18 (AZERTAC). The second act on stage today in Baku, were Compact Disco who are representing Hungary in Europe's Favourite TV Show with the song Sound Of Our Hearts.
On stage, just as in their first rehearsal the group were all dressed in black. However, while they wore casual t-shirt and jeans on their first appearance, today they were in their stage costumes, though black is the pre-dominant colour, the lead singer has a black shiny leather coat, with a sparkly black top that catches the light.
The camerawork focusses mainly on the lead singer, especially in the latter half of the song, that the LED background, although brightly coloured, doesn't detract from the performance. The screens feature, appropriately enough, heart shapes, as does the floor design.
The lead singer and the two guitarists also make effective use of both ramps that come down into the auditorium, before they all return to the main stage at the conclusion of the song.
In the final run through of today's rehearsals, there were some flame effects that briefly shoot up around the stage, but apart from that, effects have been kept to a minimum, so as to place the emphasis on the song and the performance.
The four band members of Compact Disco have been performing and recording music together since 2005, but only four years later their first album was launched. Now they are one of the most popular acts in Hungary.
