This is the latest release by Duvo, and they continue to bring us authentic and spirited folk music from places such as Transylvania and Moldavia and beyond. Strong arrangements and, as always, excellent playing on traditional instruments.

"The ensemble plays Hungarian folk music first and foremost in a traditional style. It has played as an independent orchestra in concerts since 1981. Its repertoire contains all kinds of music of ethnic groups in the Carpathian basin".

They can play some interesting and rare musical instruments in their program. These rare musical instruments include the bagpipe, the reeling lute, the dulcimer, the pastoral flute etc. The members of the ensemble also collect folk music, and they deal with teaching. The ensemble has taken part in many important Hungarian festivals. They have visited many counties, e.g. Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, France, Turkey, Finland, Greece, Austria, Israel, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Luxembourg, Germany, USA, Mexico. The orchestra has won one of the most important prizes called "The Young Masters of Popular Arts" in 1983. In 1989 they were awarded the title 'Excellent Ensemble'."

'... What I can tell you is that Duvo is a band with a really authentic performance style. They play right- the same way I had heard play many years before in old Transylvania and other places- village musicians in dance houses. (I miss a bit the female voices, not because of feminism, but I love them.) 

Like a son would learn from his father or an apprentice from his master, they learnt everything of the "gone by" everydays' village music. Not more, there is not any artistic in their performance, it seems to me, that they want to be exactly the same like those old musicians.'
