Bódi Guszti

Bódi Guszti (born December 12, 1958, in Nagyecsed, Hungary) is a Lovari Romani, Gypsy, Hungarian musician, composer and singer.

Biography

He started performing, singing and playing piano early in his childhood. He married his love Margó at the age of 18. He formed his group, Nagyecsedi Fekete szemek, in 1978. In English this translates as Black Eyes from Nagyecsed. At that time it was a 22-member dance ensemble.^[1]

In 1987 Guszti and Margó decided to move their family to Budapest to establish and create the so-called "pop-gypsy" music, which was a lighter more entertaining style than their earlier Roma music. With the release of their album "Szeretlek, Szeretlek" (I love you, I love you) in 2000 they finally became famous and popular all over Hungary^[2] Over the years the group acquired 14 gold, and 8 platinum awards. Guszti often performs with other Hungarian entertainers like Lagzi Lajcsi, Kozsó, and others.

His group Fekete szemek (Black Eyes) is entirely family structured i.e. his two sons Csaba and Guszti Jr. virtually grew up with the group and became part of it as soon as they could. They are still performing with great popularity all over Hungary and other countries.
