Kiirthathatók

Kiirthathatók, also known as "kiirthathatók" in Hungarian, are a type of traditional Hungarian folk song that are typically performed by a group of singers, often accompanied by instruments such as the cimbalom or accordion. These songs are characterized by their repetitive, call-and-response structure, which involves a leader singing a phrase and then the rest of the group responding with a similar phrase. The lyrics of kiirthathatók often deal with themes of love, nature, and social commentary, and they are typically sung in a lively, upbeat style.

The origins of kiirthathatók can be traced back to the 18th century, when they were first performed in rural areas of Hungary. Over time, they evolved and spread throughout the country, becoming an important part of Hungarian folk music. Today, kiirthathatók are still performed at folk festivals, weddings, and other social gatherings, and they continue to be an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage.
