„What is it to Robert Burns’ poems that we like them so much? Why are we fond of the Scottish poet? Partly for the same reason why János Arany and Sándor Petőfi did so. They adored him probably because although he came from a poor family and lived the hard life of a Scottish farmer, he was full of ambition and enthusiasm. His most beautiful poems are written in a rustic tone of voice and convey contentment with life, love and patriotism. This inner strength is based on Scottish folk songs and on poetry. It is not an accident that Dongó Band have discovered Burns’ poems and have been working on a sounding for a long time which is now available on disc for the listener. These songs whose melodies and instrumental sounding reflect not only the unique and special sounding of Dongó Band but also revive the Irish and Scottish folk music, are rich in rhythm and merit. I full-heartedly recommend this album for those who want to get into a good mood in this somewhat gloomy era.”

The CD bearing the title "COME FORTH SUNSHINE" is put together of musicalised poems of Hungarian poets in interpretation of the Ensemble DONGO. Besides several new songs you will find also the most successful pieces of their last album, the "Hopscotch" in a refreshed, renewed version. Today in our world full of false images this CD is gap-filling collection. The themes of the poems, their ideas, the playful poetic phrases, the harmony of the songs and the variety of their rhythms provide us a great experience, and an exellent way to refine our taste.
