From record label:
""The Gypsies were on their way the ball
But none of them had the right clothes..."
Well, this fall the Őrkő Gypsies really were on their way, but they weren't going to a ball, as in the song. They Were on their way to the Etnofon Recording Studio in Budapest to record a bit of their special knowledge and talent - a few pieces from their scintillating singing tradition. It was a big adventure for them and the first time they had stood in front of a microphone to sing their grandparents' songs, documenting them for posterity and for their grandchildren to listen to someday."


"Formed in 1992,the Gázsa Hungarian Folk Music Band of Budapest comprises Hungarian musicians who have spent years studying and learning authentic village music from famous masters of folk music in remote rural areas. The band takes its name from the nickname of its leader, Istvan Papp, who was born and raised in Transylvania. A graduate of the Conservatory of Music of Kolozsvár (Cluj in Romanian),Gázsa was influential in starting the first Táncház (Community folkdance event) in Kolozsvár while still a student. This folk-revival movement offered the basic impulse to hundreds of young musicians to learn and preserve authentic folk music of the Carpathian Basin"
