The music, singing and dance culture of the Gyimes and Moldavian Csángó peoples rank among the most ancient within Hungarian-speaking territory, and indeed across Europe as a whole. Nevertheless – especially in Gyimes – new style also appears powerfully, enriching the variety in an excitingly archaic authentic form. The hard lifestyle of these mountain people created a uniquely energetic and "resourceful" culture, which comes through distinctly in their music and dances. Despite both ethnic groups being commonly referred to by the term "Csángó" in everyday speech, they differ greatly from one another in their origins across almost every aspect, perhaps with the exception of their strong Catholic religious affiliation. The Gyimes people can be said to belong to the Csík Székely population in their descent and culture, while the Moldavian "Csángó" Hungarians are a more complex ethnic group that formed from territories outside the Carpathian Basin (essentially "Etelköz") from as early as the Hungarian conquest itself, and were not reached on the periphery by such defining intellectual currents of the 18th-19th centuries as language reform, new musical and dance fashions, or the development of national consciousness in the modern sense. They were especially vulnerable to the 20th-century Romanian assimilation efforts, though religious differences (Roman Catholic vs. Orthodox) provided strong protection against such absorption.
Their Hungarian origin is of course beyond question; their folk songs and dialect carry the most archaic Hungarian culture, and from the surrounding Romanian population they have adopted mainly modern vocabulary and other elements.
