The album Levédia by the Hungarian Rhapsody Project pays tribute to the great Hungarian composers, folk song collectors, and the folk roots of Hungarian culture, blending the band’s modern instruments with traditional Hungarian ones such as the tárogató (a traditional Hungarian woodwind instrument), shawm, koboz (a traditional Hungarian lute), folk flutes, folk violin, ancient drums, and percussion instruments.
