'... In the process of doing folk music research there (Magyarszovat, Transylvania), we were told about a playful, erotic dance custom called the 'virgin's dance'. The last melody of track 11 on this recording, a "szokos" type dance tune ... is the music played for this dance.'

Formed in 1976, they are one of the leading ensembles of the "New wave of folk music". One year after bring formed they gained the title "Young Masters of Folk Art." 

Téka Ensemble plays authentic Hungarian peasant music. Their repertoire emphasizes the traditional style of playing and the original feeling of folk music. They play string instruments (violin, viola, double bass, cello) and other unique folk instruments (bagpipe-bőrduda, hurdy-gurdy-tekerő, cimbalom, ütőgardon). With these instruments they reproduce a colourful picture of village music from all Hungarian - speaking territories. 

In Hungary they have regularly performed in their own club since 1977.

Reviewer: Kalman Magyar

TÉKA ENSEMBLE IS 25 YEARS OLD

(Reproduced from the HAL discussion group by kind permission)

I attended the TEKA 25 years anniversary album concert last Friday [18th of May] at a small Budapest theater called the MU Szinhaz. it was a relaxed and fun concert and it appears that the new Téka album will be an interesting one. May be the most important character of the band is that they remained to be truly authentic and they do not want to be a "show band" but give full respect to their collections and sources they learn from.

Vizeli Balazs is a fantastic violinist, probably one of the best in folkmusic in Hungary. Gyorgy Lanyi on the bracsa and Pal Havasreti on the Bass are solid foundations to the band's music. Beatrix Tarnoki is popular with Téka fans and after several year of singing with the band she now is an important member.

However several guest artists made the evening even more interesting and we should pay attention to their name; Kalman Balogh on the cimbalom needs no introduction. Mihaly Dresch Dudas is one of Hungary's most interesting new jazz or progressive jazz saxophone players, but he is also a great furulya player as we had a chance to see. Szokolai Balazs is a good Tekero and duda player, but the most exciting guest this time proof to be Ronert Kerenyi, an absolutely wonderful furulya player who is also a specialist in Gyimes and Moldva furulya music. I have not seen anything like him before his love and enthusiasm in playing the furulya shows immediately. There was also Ferenc Sara and Zsuzsa Varga who sang, played music and danced to make the evening more interesting.

I could not help but think back about twenty years, when we welcomed the Téka at the 1982 Hungarian folkdance Symposium, as the first "live" [most of the evenings] folk music band in America from Budapest. not much has changes with the Téka since then. They are the same fun loving people as they were then, at least this evening they were.
