The Muzsikás Ensemble was founded in 1973 modelling the early village peasant ensembles, the "muzskás"-es (music-makers) and they reflect the same world of sound. They have learned authentic music-making from the presently existing village orchestras and musicians. On their first LP, "Living Hungarian Folk Music 1", they performed tunes collected from several regions of Hungarian-speaking areas. They were awarded the title "Young Masters of Folk Art" in 1974.
On this release they collaborate with Hungarian folk singer, composer and actress Sebestyén Márta (who performs regularly with Muzsikás) and composer/violinist Alexander Balanescu.
Style: Hungarian Folk Music, Népzene
