The cassette, Chardas Treasure, is an great choice for anyone who loves the unusual zest and spice of the Slovak Chardas and the music of the Aristocrats. |
To the Slovak, the word Chardas brings to mind a montage of gaiety, camaraderie, whirling skirts and restless feet, reminiscence of years of tradition, the incomparable expressiveness of the chardas, the Slovak passion for lifeand love as expressed in the refrains of these songs. In Slovakia, music and dance comes as natural as eating and sleeping. Music is an integral part of every Slovak's life and the chardas is a favorite dance step. Perhaps, the most significant reason for the popularity of the Slovak chardas is its distinctive beat. This is music with a definite feeling. The songs on this album reflect the true musical mood of Old Slovakia. The Slovakaires are joined by the Aristocrats on Chardas Treasure.
