The group Zengo was founded in 1983 and has appeared many times on radio and
TV. Besides collecting, teaching and arranging folk-music, the group have
toured at home and abroad. They perform music and dance from Transylvania and
Moldavia using traditional acoustic instruments. Their repertoire is rich
and varied with good use of the different instruments they play. This
release contains plenty of lively dance tunes.
“The source of all music can be found in the soil, the streams, mountains, and the tales that, ancient though may be, still provide a message for today. We are touched by the rich ornamentation and rhythm of the dance tunes, the alternate softness, wildness and warmth of the devil's music. The music performed by Zengo achieves in but a second an atmosphere of bewitchment. They know the knack of gripping us, whether from a stage or from a recording… with ability,
authenticity, energy and proud."
