The situation in Mezőség (a.k.a. Transylvanian Plain; in Romanian Câmpia Transilvaniei). Poet and writer Széki Soós János (born and raised in Szék) paints a picture of the dwindling Hungarian population in the villages in Mezőség in general and the dissipation of folk tradition – also providing some poignant historical and political background. He describes summer folk dance and music camps held in Szépkenyerűszentmárton (Sânmărtin), Buza and Szék (Sic) and the communities in each of these villages.
