Let's back to the Walldorf Rock and Roll Weekend!
For those who don't heard about Ray Campi: he is an old school rockabilly face, who started the business in the 50s.
The visitors of the Walldorf Rock and Roll weekend were lucky, because they can see him on the stage.
The title of the song is Cattin' Around.

In the Best 16 serie we present the best 16 Rock and Roll (Rockabilly, Country, Blues, Swing) bands of Hungary.
In the original Napi Rock and Roll blog there is a game called Rock and Roll Championship. Every week performers of the 10 most viewed song gets points and at the end of the year the band who gets the most points will be the champion.

Recently the band started to play in hungarian, but all the olds songs was written in english.
One of them is called "Woodo Doll".

The first video

Cry,Cry,Cry.
This is the title of the famous Johnny Cash song. Now this song will be presented by the danish country group Johnny Horsepower.
It was played in Walldorf, on the world famour Rock and Roll Weekend.
As long as we got enough video you will see a song on every Tuesday from this festival.

Today is the day

Welcome everybody!

This is the day when the Napi Rock and Roll International Edition starts. Why today? Because this day is the 2nd birhtday of the original Napi Rock and Roll Facebook page, and first birthday of the blog version.
What is Napi Rock and Roll? This is a page where you can find a new video every (working) day. The name "Napi" means daily. That's what you can expect from the international version too: a rock and roll (rockabilly, country, swing, blues) video every working day.
The main audience of the original pages are the Hungarians, because most of the bands who appear on the page are Hungarians, and they play several hungarian songs.
But most of their songs are played in english, and I've got videos from several non-hungarian bands too. I think those might be interesting for the international audiance as well.

So let's celebrate the 2nd birthday of the Napi Rock and Roll and let's wait together for the very first video wich is coming at 18:00 CET!
