Beatrice, originally a girl-band from the ’70s, is a popular (and maybe the first) punk-rock band of Hungary, founded in 1978. Their music was, and still is against socialism. They became highly anticipated between ’80s working class youth, concerts guarded by police of the regime. After the change, Beatrice, and front member Nagy Feró is still filled with political charge (right-wing, and sometimes nationalist).
Their punk-rock style, uniquely combined with folk elements, produced hits like Azok a boldog szép napok, 8 óra munka are still amongst the most often played tracks in the country, and have a cult status in suburban Hungary. |
