Hello! I am so happy I found your incredible music from a recommendation of a friend. Your passion shows through so wonderfully in this music -Julia B.

Madárka is a unique band experience. I was moved to hear 5 talented musicians working at preserving living history - transporting the audience to far corners of the earth with their unique repertoire. . -Moni A

You performance was sensational. We loved it!!! Thanks so much -Stephanie K.

Madárka (“little bird” in Hungarian) plays the traditional music you would have heard in the villages of Eastern Europe many years ago, slightly updated. Drawing from the rich history of Klezmer, Romani, Balkan, Romanian and Russian folk music, we take listeners on a lively journey across borders and centuries. Our repertoire is flexible and diverse, encompassing high energy music perfect for circle dancing, Yiddish love ballads, Rom murder ballads, Romanian worker’s songs mixed with Appalachian fiddle, standards and bizarre old tunes you are unlikely to hear anywhere else.
