Interview with Daniel Hamar of the group, Muzsikás about performing Hungarian folk songs in Eastern Europe under communist rule
Update: 2022-09-27
Description
We speak with Daniel Hamar of the group Muzsikás about what it was like performing Hungarian folk songs in Eastern Europe under communist rule when some politicians feared folk music could be subversive and lead to nationalist revolutions. And later, we’ll hear how Muzsikás travelled to Transylvania in the 1990s to research Jewish music – songs nearly lost to history after Transylvania’s Jewish community was massacred during the Holocaust. Muzsikás collaborated with elderly Romani musicians from the region who still remembered pre-war Jewish songs.
