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."
Jointly presenting the musical heritage of the
Serbs and Croats of Hungary is more timely than ever before. The South Slav music of this
country is something unique. The interaction and mutual dependence over many centuries of
the many nations of the Carpathian Basin and South East Europe has produced folk art that
is at once diverse and yet an integrated whole.
Vujicsics ensemble was formed in 1974 in
Pomaz, in the early days of the folk-dance revival in Hungary. The primary
aim was to continue and revive the folk-music heritage of the Serbian
communities in the Budapest region (Szentendre, Pomaz, Csobanka,
Budakalasz). Later its scope was extended to the folk-music of the Croats
of the Danube valley and southern Hungary, including field-work,
arrangements, and performance, and the presentation as such of this
diverse and colourful folk-music. Ensemble Vujicsics arrangements are
characterised by respect for the heritage, and musicianship of a high
order. Their repertoire, based on archaic traditions, now enjoys a
respected place on the concert platforms of Hungary, Europe, and more
distant continents.
Their successes are maybe also due
to the fact that for more than 20 years the composition of the ensemble
has remained the same. Since the beginning of the 80s they have made
records and toured throughout Europe as members of the international
ensemble Vents d'Est (Eastern Winds).
