Rebel Waltz – which is part of Extremely Hungary, a yearlong festival celebrating contemporary Hungarian culture throughout 2009 in New York City and Washington, D.C.– gives New York audiences a rare opportunity to experience the suppressed voices of a triumphant generation, including Dezerter (Poland), Kontroll Csoport (Hungary), Psi Vojaci (Czech Republic), Timpuri Noi (Romania), Bez Ladu A Skladu (Slovakia) and Pankrti (Slovenia). The music of these bands served as a form of political rebellion in the 1980s, and 20 years later, it is a celebration of a successful movement for change.
