Interview with Sipos János – Hungarian ethnomusicologist, member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences specializing in traditional music of Turkey and Turkic peoples. A main vein of his research concentrates on examining links between Hungarian and Turkic peoples through traditional music. “...The Hungarians that conquered and settled in the Carpathian Basin spoke Hungarian as well as a Bulgarian-Turkic language. This is no surprise, since beforehand, and after, they lived amongst and mixed with various Turkic peoples….we shouldn’t forget that our country is only a few hundred years old, it’s a new idea; in the times before arrival to the Carpathian Basin, tribes, ethnic groups came and went, they joined together, broke away, melded together…the development and ethnogenesis of a people is an extremely complex process, which is rarely seen clearly...” Sipos’ new website provides access to the wealth of information from his research work and his publications: [http://zti.hu/sipos_gyujtesek/].
