The Muzsikás Ensemble was founded in 1973 modelling the early village peasant ensembles, the muzskás-es (music-makers) and they reflect the same world of sound. They have learned authentic music-making from the presently existing village orchestras and musicians. On their first LP, „Living Hungarian Folk Music 1,” they perform tunes collected from several regions of Hungarian-speaking areas. They were awarded the title Young Masters of Folk Art in 1974.
