CD Ghymes - Messzerepulo/Dialkoletec

The Ghymes band - consisting of Hungarians living in Slovakia - was founded at the College of Education in Nitra in 1984, by musicians with different preliminary musical experiences from classical through rock and Renaissance music. The years past have been like a "musical purgatory" for them. Folk elements have gradually clung together with their own individual musical ideas and "Ghymes music" was born. In addition to traditional instruments (violin, viola, dulcimer, bagpipe, contrabass, lute, koboz, kalabash zither, Turkish pipe) the band has started using saxophones and drums - and without having even noticed it they have gotten included in the world music category. "Ghymes music" is rooted in Hungarian and Central-Eastern European folk traditions. CD Messzerepülő/Dialkoletec was recorded in 2006, it includes 13 songs.
