Kobzos Együttes is a musical group whose repertoire consists of traditional Hungarian music. Its members are Andrea Navratil ( vocals ), Lászlo Demeter (vocals, Koboz , bells) and József Szedlák (vocals, Koboz, viola, bagpipes ). It was named after the traditional short-necked lute Koboz, which is only played by a few musicians today.
The group was founded in 2006 and initially dedicated itself exclusively to Hungarian religious music. The tradition of the Tschangos from the Romanian region of Moldova played a major role, as very old forms of Hungarian music have been preserved in this ethnic group. Meanwhile, the group also performs medieval music from other European countries as well as Hungarian folklore from different regions of the country in the spirit of the dance house movement. All members of the group are also involved in other music projects.
