Gerák Andrea / Andrea Gerak (say "gheraak") - Singer & Dancer
Andrea Gerak meets an increasing demand from musicians to use her voice for various projects, from all over the planet. She is currently working on songs with Effi Shoshani (Israel), Cambridge - Angel Oros (Spain), Jose Aurelio Ferrandez (Dominican Republic), Barozda (Sweden), Paul Kwitek (Canada), FolkFree (Hungary)
Andrea had her first stage performance at the age of 5. From a few years later on, she has been dancing and singing in several folklore groups in Hungary, in the Borsod, Avas, Csepel and Bartok dance ensembles where she was often the soloist. As a dancer, she appears in the Golden Bear awarded movie Music Box by Constantinos Costa-Gavras.
Today Andrea lives in Sweden and is mostly involved in singing. She takes the listener to a trip to the melodies of various ethnicities such as Irish or Gypsy, and staying true to her roots, she sings Hungarian folk songs as her main profile, performing them A Cappella or as World Fusion, lending her unmistakable voice to compositions of international artists.
Performed in most of the countries of Europe at festivals, clubs, exhibition openings, churches, private, corporate and community events.
