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 pesently existin village orchestras and musicians. On this first LP of theirs they perform tunes collected from several regions of Hungarian-speakng areas. In 1974 they were awarded the title "Young Masters of Folk Art".
