The story of events leading to formation of the Téka Ensemble as told by founding member of the band – viola/bagpipe player, Lányi György. There was a workshop held in June 1976 in Abaújszántó, Hungary for musicians interested in playing music for dance houses. It was led by members of the Muzsikás and Sebő ensembles. Violinist Porteleki László gathered together Lányi György and Havasréti Pál (neither of whom were particularly musicians yet...) and went to the workshop. Excerpt from the book by Lányi György.
