At the end of the 1980s, a new name appeared in Hungary's folk music scene: the Kolompos ensemble. Initially gaining fame as a dance house band and accompanying dance ensembles, they soon began promoting Hungarian and Carpathian Basin folk music through their own concerts, performing from Sweden to Sicily, from Canada to Japan.
In December 1990, a significant turning point occurred in the young ensemble's career. They were invited to a kindergarten to hold a dance house event, which eventually transformed into a music and storytelling performance full of playful dancing and games. Given the tremendous success, a continuation was arranged for January, and within a few months they had created a series running from autumn to Pentecost, in which folk customs are presented to children in the aforementioned playful manner, seasoned with plenty of merriment.
In the following years, they expanded their repertoire with musical story-plays, and soon the doors of schools, cultural centers, and theaters opened to the Kolompos ensemble, which reinterprets Hungarian folk traditions in novel ways, engages the audience in play, and often makes adults laugh.
By the turn of the millennium, the ensemble had developed its current form, and from then on they released new recordings almost every year in the form of CDs, DVDs, and storybooks. Today, as one of the most popular ensembles among Hungarian children, they continue to pursue their original mission: to help children and their parents discover and love Hungarian folk music, folk dance, ancient folk customs, and all the incomparable cultural treasures left to us by our ancestors.
The Kolompos dance house promises guaranteed entertainment for every generation of the family!
