Hungary, 1970. Saturday night is partying night. This seems a typical party for those of a certain age in Hungary. Lots of alcohol, probably pálinka (fruit brandy), and if you were lucky, a live Roma violinist. They would sing the old songs known as "magyar nóta", a variety of sugary, sentimental songs about romance and the old days, all infused with a very Hungarian sense of melancholy and emotion. Similar perhaps to Fado music in Portugal, or Chanson in France, especially in the sense of music being tied to national identity.
