The GĆ”zsa Band was formed in 1992 by some of the best folk musicians in Hungary who have spent years studying and learning authentic village music from famous masters of folk music, who, in most cases, lived in remote rural areas. The band takes its name from its leaderās nick-name, IstvĆ”n Papp. He was born and raised in Transylvania and has played with many āgiantsā of Hungarian folk music. The GĆ”zsa Ensemble has accompanied the famous Budapest Ensemble for a decade. Together, they have performed in many countries, including the United States, Canada and Mexico, to critical acclaim. In their 2000 North American tour, The Ensemble was praised by The New York Times as āadmirableā and ācompellingā; the New York Newsday noted āsuperb musicians ā¦ lively, seductive musicā; The Boston Globe praised their music to be āpulsatingā; and in the Chicago Sun Times, the groupās fiddlers were called āirresistibleā and the musicians āsuperb.ā
The Carpathian mountains surround an area of Central Europe, āhomeā to many ethnic groups, each possessing wonderful folklore, especially folk music and dance. Hungarians represent the majority in this geographic region, but Romanians, Slovaks, Serbians, Croatians, Ukrainians, Gypsies and others have also preserved their wonderful folk treasures. Although the performers in the GĆ”zsa Ensemble are all Hungarians, they have explored the beauty and depth of all traditional cultures in the Carpathian Basin in great detail. In their performance, they show the music and dance of a variety of ethnic groups and offer a memorable cross-section of the colorful ethnic music and dances of people living in Central Europe.
