You will hear this two-syllable word for days before and after Szilveszter (New Year Eve). It stands for B.Ú.É.K. – Boldog Új Évet Kívánok 
(I wish you a happy new year).

Hungarian folklore is abundant in superstitions and customs related to new year. The reminiscences of these traditions are still alive in the symbols of luck such as: chimney-sweeper, horseshoe, the four-leaf clover and on the food side lentils and roast suckling pig.

The Fungarian Crew wishes all of you ’booache’ by recommending this wonderful poem of good wishes by our brilliant late 20th century poet László Nagy accompanied by the musical version.

The poem is both in Hungarian and English. The musical version is 2:16 mins, well worth listening to.
