“This cd is quite a find – an almost vanished genre of Hungarian music from deep inside Romania. Eva Kanalas’ voice is plaintive, intimate, and devoid of any pretense or flash. Geza fabri’s cobza (a very hard instrument to find recordings of) is rich and assured. Together they give a picture of what European folk music might have sounded like 100 or more years ago. The liner notes are excellent, too.” (Kat Karsecs)

Pan Records is an excellent world music label from the Netherlands.
