Music in the world today is extraordinarily varied, not only in genres and styles but in the sheer abundance of performers. One genuinely interesting and exciting dash of colour in this vibrant musical cavalcade is the 23-year-old Csík Band, an authentic interpreter of primarily Hungarian folk music. In the past few years the band has embarked on a path that allows it to offer folk music as an unexpectedly pleasurable experience to an ever-expanding audience. It is no exaggeration to say that it... has created a new genre by melding folk music with other popular musical genres, achieving a genuinely interesting and successful blend that has never been attempted before. While previously rock has used folk to revitalise itself, in the music of the Csík Band, it is folk that absorbs rock, retaining the authentic values of folk music and the beautiful fruits of human thoughts and feelings, while recognizing the power of pop and rock to touch and mobilize the masses in today’s changing world. The music of the Csík Band is also interesting in that it recognizes the importance not only of the popular musical genres but of the world of classical music as well. The great masters of Hungarian musical history used primarily Hungarian folk harmonies in their works, while the Csík Band, with the help of a symphonic orchestra, has created a new work that blends authentic interpretation of the dawn and recruiting melodies of Kalotaszeg with the sounds of classical music.
