felmérné

Felmérné is a term used in Hungarian to describe a type of traditional folk music that originated in the northern regions of Hungary, particularly in the counties of Borsod, Heves, and Nógrád. The term "felmérné" translates to "to measure" or "to count," reflecting the rhythmic and metrical structure of the music, which is often characterized by its steady, repetitive beats and simple, repetitive melodies.

The music is typically performed on traditional instruments such as the citera, a type of hammered dulcimer, and the duda, a type of bagpipe. The lyrics of felmérné songs often deal with themes of love, nature, and rural life, and are typically sung in a simple, folksy style. The music is often accompanied by dance, and is an important part of Hungarian folk culture.

Felmérné is closely related to other forms of Hungarian folk music, such as csárdás and körtánc, and is often performed at folk festivals and cultural events throughout Hungary. The music has also gained popularity in recent years, with many contemporary musicians incorporating elements of felmérné into their own work. Despite its traditional roots, felmérné continues to evolve and adapt, reflecting the changing cultural landscape of Hungary.
