Balkáni ízek: Two Greek dance melodies featuring László Major on violin.
Hora de la Bim-Bim & Sirba: A creative combination of the similar musical elements in the Central European dance of hora and sirba with rock’n’roll.
Villám csárdás: A fiery presentation by young violinist Sándor Budai of urban gipsy music in this classic instrumental.
Trombita szvit: From Transylvania to the Black Sea, there is a rich tradition of using wind instruments. Trumpet player Ferenc Kovács takes the lead in these Romanian dance melodies.

Pacsirta: The famous gipsy traditional about the lark in a superb interpretation by the prímás of the band Sándor Budai.
