KORMORÁN is the most popular folk-rock band in Hungary and probably one of the most prolific bands in the world - their discography counts about 30 studio albums, while the whole number of records made with the band's participation is now close to 100.

KORMORÁN uses in their music elements of Hungarian, Mid- and East European folk. There are traditional songs, songs written by the band to their own lyrics and to the verses of different Hungarian poets (Sándor Petofi (1823 - 1849), József Attila (1905 - 1937) and many others). But song-oriented albums is only one side of KORMORÁN music. The band released numerous rock operas, cantatas, oratotiums and movie soundtracks. Orchestras, choirs, guest singers and musicians are often involved in such projects.

KORMORÁN was founded in 1976 by flute and wind instruments player and composer Gergely Koltay (b. 1952, Budapest Conservatory and Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music graduate), permanent band's leader from the start to this day. The group released a couple of singles in 1978, came through some line-up changes and only in 1984 KORMORÁN debut album, ''Folk & Roll'' saw the light of day. It was a mature work and its title characterizes the music well - a unique combination of folk motiffs and real rock power was (and still is) the band's trademark. Several guest musicians took part in this record and played guitars, sax, Hammond organ, violin and other electric and acoustic instruments. The album was warmly received by listeners, many songs from ''Folk & Roll'' became KORMORÁN classics and are played in concerts till now.

In the 80's KORMORÁN tours Hungary and some European countries, releases albums in their homeland, live album in Holland and the album of songs with English lyrics, ''Cross Talks'' (1987), in Czechoslovakia.

Nevertheless the end of the decade, due to political and social changes, was a hard time for many East European bands. KORMORÁN was no exception, the future of the band was uncertain:
''So it was in 1988.
Is the legend living? The Kormorán's legend. We live in another world, songs sing of something else, melodies speak of something different, reality forces everybody into a different situation.
We are devoured - there is no time for songs, there is no time for the 'dead peacock', there is no time for holy chants - the hussars' time is over.
What comes then? Who knows? The next prophet does.'' (from linear notes to ''Hungarian Rhapsody'' album).

Fortunately, KORMORÁN survived. Some musicians left the band, others came to their place, but the process of creating and recording new music never stopped. In 2001, the year of the band's 25-th anniversary, the line-up established at last.
