This double album was recorded live during the Szeged Festival. Only Hungarian bands and soloists are presented here all of them being part of the Hungarian revival also known as ''Táncház movement'' (Táncház mozgalom in Hungarian). Officially born on the 6th of May 1972 in Budapest, this revival went growing very quickly all over the country and beyond among Hungarian-speaking communities. By the eighties official support was given to folk events and venues hosting folk dances evenings. It took two years nevertheless to organize this first international folk music festival that was held on the 19-20th of August 1988.
Were present bands like Muzsikás, Téka, Méta, Ökrös etc... along with singers such as Márta Sebestyén, András Berecz, Irén Lovász, etc... Some formations were a mix of musicians from different bands as for the final set grouping no less than twenty-six musicians and singers.
All the lyrics in Hungarian are translated to English and available.
