Bluesmen's World(Music)

It's been 300 years since Ferenc Rákóczi, commander-in-chief of the Hungarian insurgent forces, stood at the head of the multitudes summonded to Tiszahát. The Rákóczi war of independence (1703-1711) ultimately failed, despite initial victories by the Kuruces, but left a lasting impression of the national conciousness in the music and poetry of the following centuries. One of the types of usic which the listener won't find included on this CD are the songs which have been popularized by use in gramar-school songbooks over the last one hundred years, but which may be of questionable authenticity. Our selection aims to highlight those songs which village musicians of the 20th century have made part of their everyday repertoire. By reviving these songs, we are paying our respects to the village musicians who have passed down the Kuruc songs of bygone days and the musical heritage of a time long since past.
