An expert on the connection between Turkic and Hungarian folk music, János Sipos has collected data, motifs and melodies from Kyrgyzstan to Anatolia in the past 30 years. He charts deep-rooted patterns and parallels across the art of the ashiks of the Caucasus to Hungarian folk songs, uncovering a little-known folk treasury, first explored by Bartók. Majda Mária Guessous (Meşi) and her band illustrate the age-old Turkic melodies with their skilled performance.
