Hungarian dance house festival in Japan – November 5, 2006 There are presently 4 bands in Japan that play Hungarian traditional music – all of the members of which are Japanese. Many dancers from Japan travel often to Hungary to learn more about the Hungarian dances. Timár Sándor has been to Japan to teach once a year for the last 30 years. At this year’s festival live music was provided for 9 Hungarian dance cycles by three Japanese bands. Report by Takaku Keijiro, hurdygurdy player
