no label, 2000
Cassettes have been for decades the quickest and the cheapest way for millions of musicians to express themselves and to get some repute. Sometimes tapes get copied by millions and circulate widely sometimes they don't. It seems to be the case with this tape made by two Hungarian revivalist musicians Miklós Demeter and Ferenc Morvai. According to the instruments they use and the type of repertoire I suppose they have connections with Moldavia and the Csángó tradition. They play mainly the shepherd flute (furulya), koboz, jew's harp, gardon etc... but don't sing. Their ''name'' means ''no name'' in Hungarian which shows a certain modesty. I couldn't get any information about them on the web. The music is straight and ''simple'' and traditional in its approach.
There are 19 tracks mentionned but only 18 on the copy I made. I can't remember whether the tape was like that or if I made a mistake when digitalizing it. Sorry about that.
