Old traditions - new talent

I am close to crying everytime I hear this music, it goes under your skin - trust me!

> Listen to Csardas music now!

Csardas - also sometimes called the HUNGARIAN GYPSY MUSIC ----is the equivalent of what Tango is to Argentina - and to be honest I detect similar elements in those two music and dance styles...... both deeply rooted folklore that has spread through the whole world and is now becoming more popular than ever (thanks to Riverdance - Yoi!)

A traditional Csardas band consists of many rather unique instruments> originating in Gypsy traditions:

> the cymbal (a large piano like looking instrument with strings, played with sticks
> clarinett
> contra-bass
> various vionlins/violas
> tamburin
