Moldva is a region in Romania with a Hungarian speaking population called Csango who have lived here since the Middle Ages. Moldva is the cultural border between Central Europe and the Balkans. The band founded in 2011 has been collecting old records, folk tunes and traditional instruments such as the koboz (an East European type of lute) and as well as the various forms of Csango dances which they present wearing medieval costumes

The three video recordings present dance tunes and bride dressing songs
