So Jarko became a member of a children's folk group Detvancok and immediately started to play the first violin. We call this leading position primas. He began his primas career in a group of musicians led by Jozef Mackov-former cymbal player of the folk band Datelinka. It is very typical for children's folk bands and folk groups that their members change quite often. On the other hand new 6-7 year old boys and girls enter them.
Some guys go to the army.
Young musicians and dancers simply scatter around Slovakia. Those who stay faithful to our lovely folk music continue playing and dancing in different folk groups all around our country. When I was a little girl, I also started playing in Detvancok. For more than 6 years I played kontra under the leadership of Jarko Hazlinger- our primas. Detvancok had 12 members then and we were all very good friends.
