In the
villages of Mures county folk dances, songs, the folk costume worn
on holidays is handed down in the family, from the elderly to the
youngest ones, the way it has been done for hundreds of years. Proof
are the over 100 active folk ensembles and folk dance formations existing
at the moment, many of them including three or four generations in
their composition, the love and respect towards folk culture being
inspired to young people, too, this way these treasures being handed
down to future generations.
Some of these ensembles have in their
repertoire, besides folk dances and songs, different customs specific
to the region they come from, others have in their composition valuable
traditional folk music bands (in a formula of three - violin, double,
double bass) specific to the Plain region, specific instrumental formations
or especially authentic and valuable vocal groups.
These artistic ensembles and formations
carry on a regular activity, many of them participating at important
festivals, competitions and shows organized at national and international
level, contributing this way to the conservation and capitalization
of these specific elements of folk culture, being in many cases eloquent
messengers of the national identity, of our folk culture, of the values
that describe us from this point of view.
