BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Goulash Archipelago, Episode 1

Two musicians travel through the Carpathian Mountains, playing music in exchange for food.

Musicians Zsolt Bende and Arnie Somogyi begin a travel odyssey mixing food and music in Transylvania. From November 2008.

British jazz bass player Arnie Somogyi and his friend the Hungarian guitarist Zsolt Bende travel through the Carpathian Mountains, only eating what they receive in exchange for playing their music. 

With Arnie's double bass squeezed into their tiny hire car, they go in search of Hungarian specialities, including the country's staple dish, goulash.

The first of a two-part adventure.  

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in November 2008.
