Janos Zerkula is a renowned
Transylvanian musician and is 77 years of age.
'The distinctive violin playing and singing of the exceptionally gifted Janos Zerkula has already been documented on
other recordings, but this release presents this outstanding musician in an unusual setting.
Unusual because stringed accompaniment is not characteristic in Gyimes (Transylvania) where violin playing is generally accompanied by a percussive rhythm instrument, the
gardon. Here Janos Zerkula plays with the Szaszcsavasians, the cimbalom-wizard
Kalman Balogh and the violin player Balazs Vizeli.'
