Szászcsávás is a small village located in the Kis-Kukullo River valley of Transylvania, in Romania. The majority of the village's 900 inhabitants are Hungarians, with 20% Gypsies.
The core of the Szászcsávás Band being brought to you in London is the prímás (lead fiddle) Jámbor István whose nickname is Dumnezeu (or God in Romanian), and Csányi Sándor on fiddle, his son Alim playing kontra, and Alim's brother Sanyiko on double-bass.
In addition to their main instruments, most of the musicians also play the other instruments well and are usually outstanding dancers. Most of them make their living by playing music and if we are lucky they will also demonstrate some of their dancing skills at the gig?
