Vujicsics - Samo sviraj (1997) FLAC

Vujicsics has been around for decades, and a copious recorder. They still perform, though not as much as in earlier years, and many of their albums are out of print.

Jointly presenting the musical heritage of the Serbs and Croats of Hungary is more timely than ever before. The South Slav music of this country is something unique. The interaction and mutual dependence over many centuries of the many nations of the Carpathian Basin and South East Europe has produced folk art that is at once diverse and yet an integrated whole.

The Ensemble was formed in 1974 in Pomaz, in the early days of the folk-dance revival in Hungary. The primary aim was to continue and revive the folk-music heritage of the Serbian communities in the Budapest region (Szentendre, Pomaz, Csobanka, Budakalasz). Later its scope was extended to the folk-music of the Croats of the Danube valley and southern Hungary, including field-work, arrangements, and performance, and the presentation as such of this diverse and colourful folk-music. Ensemble Vujicsics arrangements are characterised by respect for the heritage, and musicianship of a high order. Their repertoire, based on archaic traditions, now enjoys a respected place on the concert platforms of Hungary, Europe, and more distant continents.

Their successes are maybe also due to the fact that for more than 20 years the composition of the ensemble has remained the same. Since the beginning of the 80s they have made records and toured throughout Europe as members of the international ensemble Vents d'Est (Eastern Winds).
