Téka Ensemble

2007. June • 20.

The Téka Ensemble was formed in 1976. From the early beginnings they have belonged to the leading ensembles of the “New wave of folk music”. Already as early as 1977 they gained the title ” Young Masters of Folk Art.” The group plays authentic Hungarian peasant music. Their repertoire emphasizes the traditional style of playing and the original feeling of folk music. They play string instruments (violin, viola, double bass, cello) and other unique folk instruments (bagpipe-bőrduda, hurdy-gurdy-tekerő, cimbalom, ütőgardon). With these instruments they reproduce a colourful picture of village music from all Hungarian – speaking territories.
