Imre Jankovics Hungarian Piper

This video is from a Hungarian movie (Liliomfi) made in 1948, Imre Jankovics, the piper, can be seen only for a couple of seconds, but his wonderful pipe music can be heard througout the scene. He was born in 1885 in Berzence (Southwest Hungary, near River Drava) and lived in the village Csurgo. When he was 16 he started his "professional" piping service. He played mostly for weddings. He played with the bellows and he was a good singer, too. He made his own bagpipe sets. A number of recordings were made with him in Budapest during the 50's and 60's. He died in 1971. He is regarded one of most influential pipers for young pipers reviving the Hungarian piping tradition during the 70's and 80's.
