Kamattehervényeket

Kamattehervényeket, also known as Kamattehervény, is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that is particularly popular in the southern regions of the country, including Baranya, Tolna, and Somogy counties. The dance is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythm, which is typically performed in a circle by a group of dancers.

The name "kamattehervény" is derived from the Hungarian words "kamatt," meaning "to dance," and "hervény," which refers to a large, circular dance. The dance is often accompanied by traditional Hungarian folk music, which includes instruments such as the tambura, cimbalom, and various types of wind instruments.

The steps of the Kamattehervény are relatively simple, involving a series of quick, stamping movements with the feet, often accompanied by a slight bounce or hop. The dancers typically hold hands in a circle, with the leader (kamatt) guiding the rhythm and movements of the group.

Kamattehervény is often performed during festivals, weddings, and other celebrations, and it is considered an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage. The dance is passed down through generations, with families and communities continuing to practice and perform it at various events.

Despite its popularity, Kamattehervény is not as widely known outside of Hungary, and it is often overshadowed by other more internationally recognized folk dances. However, it remains an essential aspect of Hungarian cultural identity and continues to be practiced and enjoyed by many.
