Hungarian FolkEmbassy Band, led by Junior Prima award winning fiddler Rosonczy-Kovacs Mihaly, has represented Hungarian folk music and culture on four continents, and is now proud to present this document of an interesting and beautiful musical cooperation. This is Hungarian FolkEmbassy?s third recording. This recording, released on Hungarian-Polish friendship day, was recorded in Budapest and Warsaw in the winter of 2019. The recording also features the early music group Musica Profana led by Andrejszki Judit, actors and guest musicians well-known from the Hungarian and Polish folk music scenes. This is not simply a matter of common lots, or joint interests ? rather it is true friendship felt between two nations.
