Muzsikás is a celebrated Hungarian folk band, widely acclaimed for their vibrant reinterpretation of traditional Hungarian folk music. Formed in 1973 during the peak of the Hungarian folk revival movement, the ensemble has dedicated themselves to preserving and perpetuating the rich tapestry of their nation's musical heritage. Consisting of a core group of skilled musicians, Muzsikás has become synonymous with the evocative sounds of Hungary, playing an array of traditional instruments including the violin, viola, double bass, cimbalom, and flute.

Over the years, Muzsikás has gathered a significant following both in Hungary and internationally, forging a reputation for their authentic performances and deep understanding of folk traditions. Among their distinguished work, "Párhuzamok és kontrasztok" and "Nem úgy van most, mint volt régen" showcase their ability to bridge the old with the new, weaving historical narratives with contemporary sensibilities. Their collaboration with renowned Hungarian folk singer Márta Sebestyén has brought additional acclaim, as highlighted in releases such as "Hungarian Songs As Performed by Marta Sebestyen and Muzsikás." Notably, "The Bartók Album" reflects their versatility, paying homage to the great Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, whose work was deeply influenced by the folk music that Muzsikás champions. Their ongoing mission to bring the sounds of Hungarian folk music to the world stage continues to endear them to folk aficionados and casual listeners alike.
