Edda Művek
.jpg)
The rock band Edda was founded in 1974 in Miskolc , a Hungarian city in northeastern Hungary ( Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County ) with the name Edda Művek ( lit.Edda works).
Career
At that time (ie in the Eastern Bloc era) Miskolc was a typical iron and steel town with many factories in the iron industry. You can feel this influence very strongly in the band's first hits. The first clips were shot in these factories, the music itself was hard, "irony".
The band grew in popularity thanks to their ballads and melodic music.
Edda is still active today, they appear regularly at festivals and other events.
