Hungarian Folk Music in the United States

This 1983 Folkways release is a perfect example of the constant ebb, flow, and evolution of what we commonly refer to as “folk music.” The record catalogs the musical traditions of several different Hungarian-American communities. While the members of these communities all share a common homeland and culture patterns, they also differ in socio-economic status, date of immigration, etc. Liner notes examine how a seemingly homogenous group of people create a broad, ever-changing, and still unified musical culture.
