Live and act

Weltlinger studied at the conservatory in his hometown. While still a student, he began working with the guitarist Yaron Hallis, from which the world music project Monsieur Camembert developed, which in Australia received three ARIA Awards from 2002 . In 2004 he came to Germany for the first time from Australia to perform with Lulo Reinhardt ( Latin Swing Project 2007).

Weltlinger has been presenting a trilogy under his own name since 2011 that dealt with the music of Django Reinhardt , its performers and fans; the second part, the album, Koblenz , received a 5-star rating on Down Beat and was one of the recordings this magazine included in the 2015 list of the best albums of the year. On his current album Szolnok , he musically draws the story of a violin he inherited, which once belonged to his grandfather Zoltán Fyszman (1902–1998) and previously his brother Ernö, through numerous countries in Europe and North Africa via the Middle East to Australia.

He also worked in the Israeli group Swing de Gitanes and is involved in two albums by this ensemble. He also worked in the Radio Django project with guitarist Janko Lauenberger , in the Hungarian folk experimental duo The Huns with Taylor Savvy and two Australian improvisation projects Zohar's Nigun and The Asthmatix with Daniel Pliner, Jewish music with jazz and electronica / hip-hop merge. He also recorded with Sharon Brauner & Karsten Troyke ( Yiddish Berlin ), Kenneth Dahl Knudsen , Rino van Hooijdonk and Aiko Aiko . With the Moka Efti Orchestra he was involved in music for the television series Berlin Babylon .
