The musical pieces on this CD are all traditional Csángó (a Hungárián mino-rity in Rumania) tunes from Moldva. The dance tunes are played by István Legedi László (50 years old, carpenter) on the Furulya (wooden whistle with six holes), the Kával (long wooden whistle with five holes) and the Tilinkó (wooden whistle without holes). The songs are sung by Erzsébet Bálint (56 years old, housewife). Both are peasant musicians, that is they have learned the traditional melodies and lyrics, which were passed down from generation to generation, from their parents.
Most of the tunes are dances, accompanied with the Koboz (special kind oflute with four or five pairs of strings, today to be found in this area only), Jew's harp and a drum, but iyrícal instrumental and vocal tunes can alsó be heard. This recording is part of a seríes of musical editions (cassettes and sheet music) on Hungárián folk music from Moldva.
The Zurgó band was founded by young musicians from Budapest. They would üke to preserve and pass on this ancient music in an úrban context. The tunes played by the band were added to show the contrast between the authentic and the úrban interpretation.
