Niburta was formed late 2009 by a band of friends under the name „Tardos”, who even till this day form the creative core of the band: Anna Németh, János Krieser and Balázs „Busó” Hormai. After a long period of castings, rehearsals and member changes the band takes up the name „Niburta” and enters the studio to record their first demo „Eredet”. The demo was a definite succes, resulting in an explosion in fandom and several international gigs such as Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In the middle of 2011 the band recorded it's first EP, „Awakening”, which provided them with and extra boost to their rapidly growing popularity. From here the flow of events sped up: the band performed several smaller gigs, and also blasted the stages of the Folk-Rock Marathon of Budapest in January, and the Rockmaraton Festival this July. Niburta was also invited to several foreign gigs, and was among the main performers during the International Beltine Fest Tour 2012 in Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary.
This spring brought about some changes in the band's lineup too, reforming one third of the band, but creating a more stable and dedicated group.

Niburta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take my spirit away where the
ancestors live!
Take me far away where the winds
blow!
Give me the bright wisdom for I
become enlightened!
Égigérő fának ága áthajlott a
Hallasz engem még mikor a szél
regél? (In my dream)
Szemeidben vad tűz lobban, (Take me
away)
Én vagyok ki benned dobban. (From
my fears)
Szállj hát szép madár,
vidd el a Föld szavát!
I wonder on my path from the end.
The beginning gleams through my
eyes.
From a long road where I came,
my spirit's now free.
Pure strength from the land,
I return to Eternity!
Bildim bildim biče khaya kazang

EVOLVE LIFE AND DEATH!
EVOLVE LIFE AND DEATH!

Égigérő fának ága áthajlott a
