Summary/Abstract: The Hungarian rock musicscene in Romania, including different genres within it, was quite diverse and testifies to a very rich performance compared to the possibilities.The various waves of the beat era, which became prevalent mainly in the West, eventually appeared in Eastern Europe, including Romania, with a corresponding delay. Several armature and professional rock bands have been founded, with the lack of possibilities such as making albums, or appearing on television/radio, yet the Hungarian and Romanian historiography somehow forgot to analyze this aspect. The aim of this case study is to construe in a non-exhaustive manner the possibilities and limits of the life of Hungarian rock musicians in the 70’s Ceaușescu-era, through the example of a small, but ambitious rock band from Satu-Mare/Szatmárnémeti, called Micron.
