Hits: 4
Panyiga was a musician and ethnographer – a 1979 graduate of ELTE’s ethnography and history department. He taught ethnography at and was one of the founders of, the Gymnasium of Folk Arts in Fót, Hungary where… “His memory is entwined with the history of the school, he was a colorful colleague with a many sided knowledge”. He taught ethnography at the Hungarian Academy of Dance and worked for many years at the Folkdancers’ Resource Center (Néptáncosok Szakmai Ház). He published a book on Hungarian outlaws in 2012. In his younger years he played, sang and wrote lyrics with Hungarian folk rock and experimental world music bands: Monszun, Gerilla, Orfeo, Vizöntő, Kolinda, Makvirág, and Malév Kamara Ensemble. Panyiga was a regular contributor to FolkMAGazin until recently when his health declined. He was a member of the board of the Táncház Association until he died. His mentors were Dömötör Tekla and Novak Ferenc Tata. Printed here are obituaries by the Dance Department of the Fót Gymnasium of Folk Arts and the Dance House Association.
