Moiras 002 LP - Limited to 330 copies
The legendary folk duet of Erika J¿zsa and K¿roly Horv¿th were the voice of a generation, pioneers of a musical movement born in Transylvania in the early 1970s.
They became the best known and most loved folk singers, touring extensively throughout Romania and Hungary. Erika and K¿roly formed their duet in 1970 in Nagyv¿rad, a town of rich cultural traditions and strong Hungarian heritage.
Kett¿spont (Colon) was their first LP, released in 1978. Later they formed a band, performing and recording under the name of T¿ltos. Despite of the high demand, only a few thousand copies were ever pressed, due to Communist political restrictions, making the LP an instant rarity. Under Europe's most oppressive communist regime, the creation of this record was quite adventurous. The end result, though, is an album that stands the test of time. Kett¿spont represents not only the highest quality folk music of the once-flourishing ethnic Hungarian pop scene in Romania, but without any doubt, also a valuable part of Hungarian folk music in general.
Dreamy sounding, quite lovely duo folk from Jozsa Erika & Horvath Karoly ¿ who became something of a phenomenon and leaders of a folk movement from extensive touring throughout Hungary and Romania, recording this excellent rarity in the mid-to-late 70s that disappeared due to the culturally oppressive political climate of the time. It features great male & female vocals, but more adventurous instrumentation at times that feels at home in the international folk realm for it's combination of traditional elements and freer post 60s vibes.
Includes "Gyertek Lanyok, Legenyek", "Don, Dono Don", "Aki Fazik", "KettoSpont", "Nagydob" and more.
