Description: "After the end of socialism in Hungary, rapid change in the economy and society increased feelings of antagonism toward the country's largest minority, the Roma (sometimes called Gypsies). One notable exception to this atmosphere of animosity can be found in a special Pentecostal congregation in the southwestern part of the country, where both Hungarians and Roma worship and make music together.

Holy Brotherhood: Romani Music in a Hungarian Pentecostal Church is a musical ethnography of this exceptional religious community."--BOOK JACKET.
