Interview with the Hajdu-Németh siblings. Ilona, Balázs and László aged fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, respectively were all born in the USA into two well-known Hungarian-American families (Hajdu-Németh/Magyar) active in folk dance, music and Hungarian community in New Jersey. About ten years ago their parents decided to try living full time in Hungary and they’re still here. In addition to their school work, the children have since been immersed in folk music and dance here in Hungary. László and Balázs play and now tour with the young folk ensemble Sarjú Banda on an ever-soaring level. Balázs and Ilona dance with the Angyalföldi Vadrózsa Folk Dance Ensemble. Here the kids talk about their experiences changing countries and their plans for the future. By Grozdits Károly.
