Collecting and learning folk songs with the Buza singers from Mezőség and Ágnes Enyedi
The voice of Buza singers from Mezőség became legendary in the dance hall movement. Their songs have been known and learned with pleasure by the dance hall community for decades, among other things in various camps, concerts, music schools or dance halls. The aim of our program is for the audience to get to know our excellent master singers more closely, under the guidance of Ágnes Enyedi, a folk singer and folk music teacher, to gain an insight into their traditional way of life, in which the songs they sang flourished and were passed down from generation to generation. With the help of photographs, video and sound recordings, those exceptional singers who are no longer with us are also recalled.

On this occasion, in our traditional music series Landscapes and Their Music, we take our audience to the village of Buza in the Mezőség lake district. First-hand accounts of the staggering harmonies of the peasant women of this village are provided by musicians who know the village and its music well. János Széki Soós, a writer, will take us on a journey to the hills of the Lake district with a narration written especially for the concert.
The House of Music Hungary’s concert programme is divided into a number of series with different thematic tracks. The Landscapes and Their Music series presents the musical traditions of the various ethnographic regions of the Carpathian Basin with the participation of still-living village musicians and dancers, as well as important performers from the dance house movement. The series has so far addressed the regions of Gyimes (Mozsika and Gardon, 14 October 2022), the Uplands (Fonó Band, Eszter Pál, Muzicka (SK): On Upland Roads, 16 December 2022), Őrkő (Heveder, Géza Kóré, Rémusz Eötvös: ‘My soul, my brother Laji...’, 26 February 2023), the Mezőség lake district (I Look Towards Buza: Singers from a Mezőség Village Sing of the Lake District, 10 March 2023) and the Southlands (Balázs Csonka: The Music of the Diverse Southlands, 24 May 2023).
