The school in Subotica (the centre of Voevodina – Serbian territory inhabited mainly by Hungarians). In the past decade such gifted talents have completed their studies there as violinists Félix Lajkó and Szilárd Mezei, who, by creating their own musical language, set out into the wide world and found explicit success. founding members of this new hot band come from the music Genuine Subotica atmosphere; carefree elegance or rather, an elegant looseness. Sneaking the Balkans into Europe, or the opposite, sneaking Europe into the Balkans? While they are on fire and have the facility for improvisation, their music is closer to the Balkans rather than to some imagined European idyll that might inspire a striving for faultlessness and precision. And it will be fine like this as long as Csaba Pásztor writes tunes, as long as we sway our heads to the wonderful voice of Tijana and as long as after listening to a particular tune a hundred times we still do not get bored with it (such as Fresh Girl!) – because through this music we will love Paniks and also life itself!

"Authentic Hungarian folk music from Bogyiszló (West of Hungary) can be heard on this recording and you can hear how it was played by a gypsy band in the seventies. Also a new style of "csardas" from Györgyfalva is performed by musicians from Kalotaszeg and you can listen to an unusual work in which gipsy dance and American swing is mixed.
This is a short preview but I think music will tell you everything."
A magyarországi népzenei élet 10. éve elismert közreműködője a Csík zenekar. Népszerűségüket számos sikeres koncert, táncház és zenei kiadvány tette egyre népszerűbbé, nemcsak itthon, hanem külföldön is. A szakmai közönség elismerését az is bizonyítja, hogy 1991-ben elnyerték a Népművészet Ifjú Mestere címet. 1992-ben pedig a Kiváló Művészeti Együttes díját is megkapták. Sydneyben, a 2000. évi nyári olimpiai játékok kulturális rendezvényein képviselték Magyarországot, több más neves előadóművésszel együtt.
A zenekar vezetője Csík János a következőképp ajánlja az albumot: "Ezen a hanglemezen egyaránt hallható az autentikus magyar népzene a dunántúli Bogyiszlóról, ahogyan azt az ott muzsikáló cigányzenekar a 70-es években játszotta, megszólalnak új stílusú lakodalmi csárdások Györgyfalváról, amiket a legutóbbi években is muzsikálnak a kalotaszegi zenészek, és sok egyéb szép zene közt egy szokatlan feldolgozás is, ahol együtt szólal meg a magyarpalatkai lassú cigánytánc az amerikai swing zenével. Talán rövid ez az ismertető, de úgy hiszem, a zene szebben mond el mindent, mint én a szavakon bukdácsolva."

Tuvan throat singing meets the electric guitar on the steppes and rocks!
"The voices are extraordinary, ranging from a melodic ox bellow called kargyraa to the "whistling" sygyt style that suggests a flying saucer revving its hyperdrive. But Aldyn Dashka improves on its predecessor, Dalai Beldiri, with songs as memorable as the throat singing within. When Albert Kuvezin croaks the tender nature tune "Chorumal Bodum" in a rock-bottom bass timbre that might make Bigfoot quake, he's handsomely framed by a two-stringed igil fiddle, throbbing electric guitar, and trotting bass. "Kozhamyk" contrasts Kuvezin's gravelly tones with Aldyn-ool Sevek's heroic operatic tenor that's as clear as a Siberian stream. Both are lifted by a vowel-packed chorus and wah-wah guitar figures that somehow fit right into a folkie song about the attributes of local womenfolk. Just a hint of dub piano complements the brew.
The third album from Yat-Kha finds them very much refining the process begun on their first two albums. The throat singing remains the central focus, but their way of framing it in a wondrous mix of modern and ancient instruments has become very subtle indeed, whether it's the reverse cymbals behind "Oy Adym" or the programming and textures of "Chedi Tei" and "Takh-Pakh Chaskhy Tan." As before, the guitar plays a very important part, played by bandleader Albert Kuvezin, giving a real jolt (along with Alexei Saaia's bass) to the acoustic lineup, and hurling it into another dimension, even though he doesn't use distortion or power chords.
