What is shown at 3:08 in the background is Moravian verbuňk, not slovak. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWevo3ubrth7eJo you can see the exacrt same moves as in the background video here at around minute 1:59 What Vasilis dances in the front looks like a mix between Slovak verbunk and Czech verbuňk to me. Also the song I only know from Moravia as a verbuňk - hněvala sa moja máti/mám já hrušku, same song, different text as it is so often with folklore. Mám já hrušku I've heard Slovak versions of, but not as a verbuňk... Also... If you devide between Urkaine and Rusyn and Slovakia and Rusyn you have to link it correctly... 10:23 Урвалася струна is Rusyn, not Slovak, if you want to devide. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYi1cp-FabaSick And lastly directly before this one the song that is used is eště si ja pohár vína zaplatím - that song I definitely associate more with Moravia, it's so often sung and played there, but I have to admit of that one I don't know the origin. Is it from the borderline region between Moravia and Slovakia maybe? Edit: maybe the confusion has it's reason in the words for the regions - Slovakia (Slovenska) is not Slovácko. Slovácko Is a region in Moravia, Czechia. It's folklore and culture are similar to Slovakia, that's where the name comes from I've heard, but it's still completely different from Slovakia I think. Therefore the slováckého verbuňk Is not the slovenského verbunk, even if Slovácko Is often translated by Google eg as "Slovak"
