The Hungarian band Söndörgő aims to foster and preserve Southern Slavic traditions of the Serbs and Croats throughout Hungary with their traditional Balkan music. Their sound centers on the tambura, an instrument similar to the mandolin. Söndörgő’s traditional repertoire is made up of material gathered by Béla Bartók and Tihamér Vujicsics as well as learned from old masters of the tradition.
