Magyarszovát Taraf - Hungarian Music From Transylvania (1991)

Some of the same players also feature on Traditions Of Gyimes And The Great Plain, released by Inedit under license from Hungary’s Fonó label which is in the process of making a collection, “The Last Hour”, of the extant traditional musics of the Carpathian basin. So far it has a thousand hours of recordings, and from them comes this set of recordings, made in 1997 and 2000, which feature two ensembles: septuagenarian singer Mária Maneszes solo and with the Gypsy taraf of the Transylvanian Plain village of Magyarszovát (two violins, two 3-stringed violas, double bass), and the duo of fiddler János Zerkula and ütőgardon player Regina Fikó, both also in their seventies from the ethnically Hungarian Csángós community of the Eastern Carpathian Tatros river valley in Gyimes.
