Szépszerével

The Szépszerével group, headed by Gergely Sámsondi Kiss and Farkas Gyulai, has been running a dance house on Gellert Hill in Budapest every Wednesday since 2008. They learned about music and folk customs through their own experience, as they are apprentices to village musicians mainly from Transylvania (Erdély), now an area of Romania and once the Principality of Hungary. Unfortunately, most of the indigenous artists are no longer alive, hence the even greater value for participants here in Poland – the opportunity to touch living history.
