Hungarian music has ancient roots: folk songs and dance tunes encoded cultural identity for centuries. Classical composers like Liszt and Bartók drew on this tradition. Under socialism, popular music became both protest and entertainment. In recent years the Hungarian scene has surged with strong local streaming presence and thriving pop/urban genres.
