Técső Band: I was beaten...
ED-CD 069
The Técső Band – playing the traditional Rusin music of the Máramarosians, the “unknown land” – is one of the best-known bands of the crown town, which lies on the upper part of the river Tisza. The accordionist Jóska Csernavec and his brothers are the descendants of a reputed gypsy dynasty, but the band’s violinists are not family members. Somehow playing violin was not inherited within the family. All of them learnt the musical style from their ancestors. Their diverse repertoire – because of the strong interethnic influence – features local Romanian, Gypsy, Jewish, Russian and Hungarian songs.
The second record of the Ukrainian band growingly popular abroad as well, includes dances and songs that have already disappeared from the daily use by the Ruthenian village people living around Técső, but are still remembered by the musicians and some of the elderly people.
