The Esztenás Band was formed in 2002 in Miskolc, North-East Hungary. The group plays the traditional folk music of the csango people (a Hungarian ethnic minority in Moldova and Romania).

“We perform especially the folk dances and dance music of the csango people, but we also play and sing vocal music, traditional folk songs and ballads. Our instruments are mostly traditional ones, but we also try to create some sort of new sounds with the help of modern instruments. Our first CD was released in 2004, under the title “Hétnyolcad”. In 2003 and 2004 we took part in many folk festivals in Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Hungary.”
