Reviews & Press

“For over thirteen years Életfa has enjoyed success throughout America, and the CD Gyökereink shows why: from the authentic violin-based group sound to classic Hungarian folk stylings, Életfa has traditional Hungary down pat. Some players are born in the US and some in Hungary, but no matter where their source, the sound is authentic and lively, packed with folk spirit….The band plays for Hungarian enclaves around the U.S. – catch them if you can, Életfa spends a lot of time on the road, touring the country.” World Discoveries

“The Hungarian-Americans in Életfa perform traditional music and dance from Hungary and Transylvania. Playing centuries-old music that retains a celebratory immediacy, the group….sounds ageless and in the moment all at once.” New York Today, February 1999

“An absolutely compelling and zesty album featuring the village music from Hungary and Transylvania by this New Jersey-based group. Being the most recognized Hungarian folk band in North America, 'who have kept people klicking their heels and slapping their feet for nearly two decades,’ the Életfa Hungarian Folk Band delivers with pure, shining musicianship.” CD Baby

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us make New York State’s commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution and Freedom Fight in the Executive Mansion a success. As a proud Hungarian son, the celebration was especially near and dear to me. We were all greatly enriched by the talents of the Életfa Hungarian Folk Music Ensemble. Thank you for creating the festive and nostalgic atmosphere that was truly reminiscent of the homeland.” State of New York Governor George E. Pataki, October 24, 1996.
