Summary/Abstract: The music market of Hungary was manipulated by state authorities and the communist party from the 1960s until the 1980s. T at distorted environment is the reason why the careers of two of the greatest Hungarian beat stars of the Sixties dif ered so much: Levente Szörényi and Zorán Sztevanovity were both partially or fully of Serbian origin, both were lead singers of their bands, and both were (in the f rst phase of their career) very careful with politics; however, their Serbian heritage and their family experiences were totally dif erent, which explains their dif erent behaviour during and af er the Beat Revolution in Hungary.
