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.
