Bluesmen's World(Music)

The Szilvasi Gipsy Folk Band released their first album in 2001. The album contains mainly very lively concert recordings which not only present their unique style and impart the concert atmosphere, but also evidence the bands continuous communication with the audience.
The special elements of the performances can be found in the successful melding of the Oláh Gipsy's performance folklore and gipsy music, which can be observed in both their style and repertoire. An example of this is that their folk songs are accompanied not only by guitar, but also by violin, clarinet and double bass, the first two of which often perform virtuoso solos, in stark contrast to the customs of restaurant gipsy music. A large part of their repertoire consists of Oláh and Hungarian gipsy folk songs alongside Hungarian csárdás tunes with gipsy lyrics. The latter is especially interesting since it represents a renaissance of the csárdás, enhanced and reworked while the international importance of so-called “classical” csárdás music has waned significantly.
