The festival's namesake and host is the Kossuth and Primissima Award-winning Kaláka ensemble, recipient of numerous other professional accolades.
Over more than half a century, they have given nearly 15,000 concerts at home and around the world, in multiple countries on every continent. They could have circled the Earth along the Equator many times over by road, air and sea. They perform nearly 2,000 poems by Hungarian and foreign poets. They are the composers and performers of music for dozens of animated films, including "Hungarian Folk Tales" and "Tales of King Matthias".
In 1992, they received a Platinum record from Hungaroton (back then, 250,000 copies sold were required for that!).
You can encounter the band members everywhere in Eger during the festival, and not just at their performances. They will give a concert on Thursday at the Géza Gárdonyi Theatre, on Saturday and Sunday mornings at the Children's Festival, and—following tradition—on Sunday evening.
