"This is the second CD released of this respected
figure of Hungarian folk music research. Here are his own performances of
songs from his own collection of field recordings. Two popular Budapest táncház bands, the Ökrös and the Téka ensembles
accompany Kallós on this recording. The theme of the songs is the agony
of emigration and the sadly realistic problems associated with it."
Born in Válaszút (Kolozs country, in Transylvania) in 1926, Zoltán Kallós
follows in the tradition of Bartok and Kodaly researching and collecting
folk music from within the region known as the Carpathian Basin.
His interest in the folk music of this area started while still at school,
and he has collected and researched the music since the late 1940s. Around
the 1960s he started recording folk music in the various places he had
previously studied, and it is these recordings that make up the Kallós
Archive. In addition to these field recordings he has himself recorded the
songs he collected with the ensembles Okros and Teka.
A forerunner to the Tanchaz (Dance House) folk revival of the 1970s in
Hungary he was awarded the "Tree of Life" Prize in 1990, the Pro
Hungarian Art Prize in 1993, and the Kossuth Award in 1996.
