New records: Szászcsávási Dalárda (recorded 1992–1994 – traditional singing), Szászcsávás Band 6 (re-release of recordings from 1996–2007). Both are 2019 Fonó releases. Recordings of traditional music from the Tranyslvanian village of Szászcsávás (Ceuaș, Romania) played by the local band, and sung by local residents. All recordings were made on location in the village. Szászcsávás is unique in the Hungarian language area as probably the only place where the local singing tradition is polyphonic. This means that all the singing, not only in church, but also at weddings, celebrations and parties is sung in five part harmony, a practice that is passed down in the families. Producer: Szánthó Zoltán.
