Méta

Méta was formed in 1983 by Beála Salamon (vocals, fiddle), Zsolt Nagy (viola, guitar, clarinet), and Albert Mohácsy (double bass, koboz, gardon). Specializing in traditional Hungarian music, the group has become a leading proponent of that country's neo-folk movement, and their recordings have become increasingly successful abroad. Headquartered in Budapest, Méta has released four albums to date: Songs and Dances from Hungary (1988), Gipsy Music from Hungarian Villages (1988), Winter and Christmas Songs from Hungary (1989), and Spring Breeze (1990). ~ Steve Leggett
