Koncz Zsuzsa

About

Koncz Zsuzsa, born in 1946, is one of the greatest female vocalists of the nation. Her folk rock sound made her popular, and her songs' controversial content made her well-known. Under the Communist system, several of her songs were forbidden because of their subject matter. In those, she criticized the inhuman conditions and other social-related issues. Many of her songs follow a more traditional folk sound, and others are written from old Hungarian poems, like "Ha én rózsa volnék..." (If I were a rose).
