Meta

In 1983 Beála Salamon (vocals, fiddle), Zsolt Nagy (viola, guitar, clarinet), and Albert Mohácsy (double bass, koboz, gardon) established Méta. Concentrating on traditional Hungarian music, the ensemble has risen to prominence within Hungary’s neo-folk movement while its recordings have attracted growing attention beyond the country’s borders. Operating from Budapest, Méta has issued 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).
