The album was a commercial success and helped to introduce Hungarian folk music to a global audience. Since then, Dzenták has released several more albums, including "Két szél" (2007) and "Ég és föld" (2010), which have further solidified their reputation as one of Hungary's most popular folk music groups.

In addition to their musical career, Dzenták is also known for their energetic live performances, which often feature traditional Hungarian dances and costumes. The group has performed at numerous festivals and concerts around the world, including the Sziget Festival in Hungary and the Sziget Festival in Budapest. Dzenták's music continues to be popular in Hungary and has gained a dedicated following in other countries as well.
