"Ditties. About lovers, happy and unhappy brides, parting and
letting go, courage, love and predestination... All this is put into
words and melody with the help of Hungarian folksongs, completed by a
poetical song of the Chuvash in which they praise their relatives, also
by a fine, elegantly dancing short Cheremis song, and a Bulgarian
mountain song that sounds sharply from afar."

The Bastya Zither band is the pioneer of the new style
zither-music, as they use leader-, tenor- and bass- zithers, which are
equivalent of the violin, viola and double-bass in folk ensembles. Due
to this line-up their sound is not like a zither band’s sound, but
reminds us of a string ensemble. Besides the zithers they use other
instruments like Moldavian drum, beating-wood, accordion and violin.

Vujicsics
'Samo Viraj, Just Play Music'
Continuing the work of Tihamer Vujicsics... "People were
dancing and singing there and Tihamér was playing his flute with
our band. In the break he showed us how to imitate the sound of the
bagpipe on the accordeon, on violin and on other instruments. We were
also talking about the music and instruments a lot. After his death we
felt we had to name our group Vujicsics and try to continue his
work in our way. So, we are Vujicsics Ensemble from
1976."

are torn. When Boril closes his eyes and pushes his clarinet into the
