"The musicians from the village of Magyarpalatka/Palatca in the Mezőség region of Transylvania are amongst the last still carrying on the local instrumental music tradition. In their own village the demand for the traditional music pretty much died out after the regime changes of 1989....however in this case the younger generation of Gypsy musicians carries on the tradition....Today the band often plays at folk music events in Hungary and for the last 10 years they have been playing monthly at Fonó Music Hall in Budapest. 

These recordings were made at the Fonó a few months before the death of the band's legendary lead fiddler Márton Kodoba. Since then Márton's son Florin Kodoba has been leading the band. This recording honors the memory of Márton Kodoba." (Péter Árendás - excerpts)
