The Técsői Banda is one of the most exciting discoveries in Eastern
European music of the last decade. Coming from the village of
Tyachiv  (Técső in Hungarian)in the far western Ukraine, the Técső Band
is one of the last full time professional traditional ensembles which
makes its living playing for village weddings and events in the Hutsul
region of the Carpathian mountains. This is an area with a very mixed
ethnic composition, and to be successful a band needs to master the
specific repertoires of a multitude of ethnic groups.  Accordionist
Yoshka Cherniavets are the son, and drummer Yuryy arethe cousinof the
late Manyo Cherniavets, a renowned fiddler and band leader who was the
Gypsy musician called to play for Jewish weddings in the region. Along
with tsymbaly player Misha Cherniavets, the Técső Band continued the
tradition of playing a rich multiethnic repertoire encompassing Hutsul
Ukrainian, Romanian, Jewish Klezmer, Gypsy, Slovak, Russian, and
Hungarian music in a single performance. Fiddler Ivan Popovych took over
as lead fiddler with the death of Manyo. Sadly, tsymbaly player Misha
died in 2006. His replacement,the virtuosic Vassilyy Hudak, is the music
teacher at the localschool.
Since 2010, tsymbaly player of the band is the young Mikhaylo Magula,
has a superb understanding and feeling for the musical style of this
mountainous region.
 
Beginning in 1991, Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist and world music
producer Ferenc Kiss released several successful CDs of the Técsői Banda
on his Budapest based Etnofon label and the band has become well known
at folk festivals throughout Europe, playing extensively in Hungary,
Poland and Germany. In 2006, American klezmer musician Bob Cohen, who
had been researching the band's Jewish repertoire, invited them to
record with him on Di Naye Kapelye's third CD "Traktorist" on the
Oriente label. The two bands performed in a joint concert at the
Budapest Palace of Arts in October, 2009. Also in 2006, the Hungarian
Dunatáj film production company filmed a documentary about the band "The
Last Kolomeyka" documenting the collaboration of the Técső Band with
Cohen and American dance researcher Sue Foy, and the band's tenacious
decision to continue on after the death of their brother, tsymbaly
player Misha Cherniavets.
The Técsői Banda plays with a precision and power rare among folk
performers. Fiddler Ivan Popovych is considered to be one of the best
fiddlers in the Carpathian style in Ukraine today. Drummer Yuryy
Cherniatvets is a master of Carpathian drum, as well as a powerful
singer and virtuoso on theplyonka, a sliver of birch bark held in the
mouth and played as a reed instrument. Often performing in full Hutsul
folk costume, they are a strong presence on stage and a delightful and
enlightening show for any audience.
