Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pioneering Hungarian group flawlessly blends traditional Eastern European instrumentation with robust progressive rock structures. 'Folk & Roll' utilizes instruments like the hurdy-gurdy and zither alongside electric guitars and complex, driving rhythms. It is a highly respected, deeply cultural triumph that paved the way for the ethno-rock genre in Eastern Europe.
