The Tatros Band [tɒtrɔʃ] was founded in Budapest (HU) in 1988 out of the joy of playing music together and the love for the traditional folk music, dance and culture of the "csángó" [t͡ʃaːnɡoː] people living in Moldova and Ghimeş region (RO). The band played a decisive role in the popularization of csángó folk music and was the first to hold regular csángó dance workshops (so called "táncház" [taːnt͡shaːz], dance house) in Hungary. The band renews itself with drawing from the source to this day as it learns and applies the tricks of playing music from those living in the tradition.
The band takes its name from the Hungarian name of the Trotuș River, Tatros which rises in the Ciuc Mountains on the border of Harghita County, Transylvania, crosses Ghimeş region and then, leaving the Carpathians, joins the Siret River in Moldova region.

Lerner, Júlia - fiddle
Ladányi, Ferenc - woodwind instruments
