History

Bihari János (1764-1827) was a Gipsy composer and violin virtuoso. He was the member of the "verbunkos" triad together with Lavotta János and Csermák Antal. The "verbunkos" is a 18th century Hungarian dance and music genre that originates in the Hungarian folk music. The world is derived from the German world "Werbung", that means recruitment, because the "verbunkos" dance and music was played during military recruiting to convince the Hungarian peasants to join the army.
