Label - Etnofon, Hungary
Released 2008

Once again the Hungarian label Etnofon, run by musician Ferenc Kiss, has produced a work of outstanding quality. Bringing together the collective talents of many of the leading musicians in Hungary we have here a unique document of traditional songs and dances beautifully presented as a way of life.

From record label:
"With this album we have at last fulfilled our desire to release a collection of the songs that for centuries have been inseparable from Hungarian holidays and daily life.

Speaking for the performers and all who have worked on this project, we trust that we have presented this unmatched musical and poetical tradition comprehensively and colorfully. The content of our material embraces Hungarian everyday life, our holidays and celebrations throughout the year, as well as songs that typically go with the holidays that reinforce our national identity.

The host of performers on these CDs represents the variety of the Hungarian folk music genre: traditional village performers, children just getting acquainted with the traditions, seasoned voices of dance house musicians and distinguished Hungarian musicians from outside the folk scene; together they show that our folk music is contemporary, vibrant, enjoyable and enduring in the 21st Century. You will hear both the original traditional performance style and artistic arrangements. We are delighted that the renowned composer, singer, actor, Tamás Cseh, joined us on this recording, reinforcing our belief that today it is also possible to create a work expressing community feeling."
