Lakatos Mónika és a Romengo (HU)
Romengo Group plays Hungarian olah-gypsy music. Most of the members of the group mastered this music as their mother tongue. So beside the existing gypsy folksongs, the group also performs their own tradition-based songs on stage with their own unique sound. During their ten-year existence Romengo has given concerts in more than 20 European countries and both of their albums got into the best 10 records of World Music Charts Europe.
Romengo’s solo vocalist Mónika Lakatos was given the Anna Lindh award in 2007, the Parallel Cultures award in 2013 and For the Ethnic Minority award in 2014.
