Muzsikas
Hungary
The award-winning Hungarian group Muzsikás revives the vanishing dances from Transylvania. While most of East European folklore ensembles became tools of Communist propaganda, in Hungary the tanc-haz movement was a part of anti-establishment activities, and Muzsikás were its co-founders. For the Western audiences, the group was discovered by Joe Boyd, producer of the first recordings of such luminaries as Pink Floyd or Eric Clapton.
