Takuya Kuroda, the jazz trumpet player of Japanese descent, who now lives in New York, is no stranger to the Müpa Budapest audience, as he previously appeared here as a guest of Lőrinc Barabás. He has also performed with his band in Veszprém, and even collaborated on a song by the Hungarian outfit Mörk. He made a name for himself with his third album, the jazz-funk and nu-jazz disc entitled Rising Son released in 2014. Kuroda has been experimenting with these genres – and crossing them with others – ever since. The result mostly comes under the categories of soul jazz, afro jazz and afrobeat, like his sixth LP, Fly Moon Die Soon, from 2020, which also flirts with neo soul and hiphop. For his first Budapest concert with a full band, he brings with him his latest album, Everyday. Put out in 2025, it crosses over boundaries to allow Kuroda to show off his modern side alongside his spiritual jazz leanings.

Palace of Arts Müpa Budapest
When Müpa Budapest, Hungary and its capital's new cultural hub, opened in 2005, it was built to represent more than 100 years of Hungarian cultural history. As a conglomeration of cultural venues, the building has no precedent in 20th century Hungarian architecture and has no peers in the whole of Central Europe.
The creators of this ambitious project, the Trigránit Development Corporation, prime contractor Arcadom Construction and the Zoboki, Demeter and Partners Architectural Office, were driven by the desire to create a new European cultural citadel as part of the new Millennium City Centre complex along the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Danube waterfront. The result is a facility whose construction quality, appearance, functionality and 21st century technological infrastructure makes it ideally suited to productions of the highest standard. The building is also highly versatile and equipped to host performances of any genre and almost any scale.
