Mystery clip for Carl

C,

Found it:

http://www.passion-music.co.uk/e_pages/hung_e/vasmalom3.htm

"The Budapest-based Vasmalom combines Hungarian and southeast European trad=
itional music with elements of improvisation and contemporary music. The ban=
d mixes the power of traditional music and the playfulness of contemporary m=
usic to create an energetic, exciting and unique sound. Their pieces combine=
instrumental composition, traditional music and folk song. It is one of the=
best known Hungarian folk music bands."

"Founded in 1981 by Gábor Reothy, Vasmalom - like other well- known Hungari=
an bands and performers they first made their mark in the local folk music r=
evival and dancehouse movement of the early 70s. The unique sounds of region=
al folk instruments such as the bagpipes, cimbalom, ütogardon and others are=
heard in their music."

There are 3 other mp3 clips on the page above...

Cheers,
Jon

This really is great stuff but the tuning does sound somewhat compromised. I happen to have some other recordings with Kalman Balough, the cimbolum player. the tune really is bordering on being polyrhythmic.
