Csik Band
The Csík Band has been active for more than twenty-five years, and is the most popular performer in Hungary for Hungarian folk and world music. During these decades the members of the band first acquired and studied folk music, and then performed it at concerts and in ‘dance houses’ both in Hungary and abroad.
In the past few years the band have chosen a track to try to offer an unexpected, but pleasant experience to as many people as possible.This meant mixing folk music and rock music in such an interesting and successful way that we can claim a new genre was born.
The high standards and quality of their activity have been acknowledged by several honours and prizes, such as the most prestigous state honour for artist, the Kossuth Prize, the Young Masters of Folk Art, Fonogram Prize awarded by the Hungarian Association of Record Producers, and the gold and platinum records for their albums.
