HUNGARIAN MUSIC AND
      DANCE
Hungarian folk music and dance
Solo dance: ”legényes”
The Legényes: is a men's solo dance
 done by the ethnic Hungarian people
living in the Kalotaszeg region of
Transylvania.
‘Verbunk’ and the birth of national
              dance
‘Verbunkos’
   In the 19th century, verbunkos was the most
popular style in Hungary.

   This consisted of a slow dance followed by a
faster dance; this dichotomy, between the slower
and faster dances, has been seen as the "two
contrasting aspects of the Hungarian character.
Verbunkos was
originally played at
recruitment ceremonies
to convince young men to
join the army, and was
performed, as in so much
of Hungarian music, by
Roma bands.
‘Táncház’
‘Táncház’ is a dance music movement
which first appeared in the 1970s as a
reaction against state-supported
homogenized folk music.
Famous instrumentalists
Many of the biggest names in modern
Hungarian music emerged from the
‘Táncház’ scene, including ‘Muzsikás’ and
Márta Sebestyén.
Hungarian folk music and dance
‘Csárdás’
Csárdás is a very
popular Hungarian
folk dance that
comes in many
regional varieties,
and is characterized
by changes in
tempo.
“salterio”
Every country named
the instrument            in English region “
differently: in Germain   hammered dulcimer”,
region “Hackbrett”,       in French region
                          “tympanon”,
                          in Italian and Spanish
                          region “salterio” and in
                          the Hungarian language
                          “cimbalom”.
Ferenc Erkel - who was the founder of
the Hungarian opera - used the ‘cimbalom’
the first time in the Hungarian classical
music. This opera “Bánk bán” had his premier
in 1861.
Béla Bartók
Béla Bartók observed that Hungarian "peasant
music" use isometric (with an even number of
structures) srtophe structure and certain pentatonic
(five tone) formations, along with a liking for tempo
giusto (rhythm consisting
chiefly of equal values).
Bartók studied over 300 melodies, and noted that
more modern tunes used for dancing featured
pentatonic turns with frequent leaps in fourths.
   These features jointly may be considered as
altogether typical, and differentiate "Hungarian
peasant music" from that of
any other nation.
Hungarian rock giants
The three giants of Hungarian rock, Illés,
 Metró and Omega, remained very popular,
especially Omega, which has followers
in Germany and beyond.
MEGASTARS
In recent times, talent shows have become a notable genre of
  reality television, such as Idol, Got Talent and The X Factor.
