About Tokos Band:
The Tokos Band was founded in the early 2010s by five students of the Cluj (Kolozsvár) Academy of Music. Their goal was primarily to entertain the local youth. In 2014, they won the “Fölszállott a páva” folk music talent show. In 2017, they presented their first album "Hallgassáts meg magyarim". The members of the band play in the Hungarian Theater and the Opera in Cluj-Napoca. They are regular performers at various festivals in the Carpathian Basin and on several big stages around the world. Lately, they also played personally for King Charles III. They are also invested in children's instrumental and vocal education. They teach in several music schools in Transylvania, as well as leading teachers of the Folk Music School of the Kallós Foundation. In addition to the concerts, folk dance camps and social dancing events, they often hold children’s sessions where they introduce this beautiful world of folk music to the younger generations.
