humusic1-9, Exercise 3: A group abroad

Model answer (one possible plan for Muzsikas; check the details):

1. Define the question: how does the group present Hungarian tradition to audiences abroad, in what words, what repertoire and what visual image?
2. Gather material: programme notes, sleeve notes and interviews for foreign tours and releases, as well as video of concerts and the group's own website.
3. Compare with the sources: the village musicians they learned from, archive recordings and the standard collections, to see how closely the repertoire follows them (Chapters 4 and 6).
4. Compare the home and foreign presentation: do they explain the music differently, for instance in the language, the length of pieces and what is said about "tradition"?
5. Look at reception: reviews in foreign press and festival listings, to see what labels are applied (world music, folk, roots).
6. Conclude: say what is documented (the repertoire, the sources), what is claimed (the image of timeless tradition) and what remains unknown.

Name every source, and treat the group's own descriptions as claims to test.
