With a shared passion for the raw and varied traditional folk music of Hungarian villages, Bajkó was formed in Budapest by close friends from the countryside. With violin, viola, bass, cimbalom (hammered dulcimer), and accordion, all members also sing, giving the ensemble a special and dynamic sound. Bajkó regularly gives concerts, plays for stage folk dance performances, and brings their energetic music to live folk dance parties (táncház), always sharing only the highest-quality authentic music gathered from all corners of the Carpathian Basin. With a flexible configuration, Bajkó has four core members, frequent special guests, and regularly includes dancers in their concert performances. They have toured in China, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, France, Austria, Serbia, and Russia, and in 2018, they debuted their first album, ‟Couples”. Recognized for their work maintaining the treasure of Carpathian Basin folk music in its original form, in 2019 Bajkó was accepted into the Hungarian Heritage House’s International Portfolio of Ensembles, as official ambassadors of Hungarian folk culture.
