I have tons of recordings of Hungarian Gypsy music.  The most popular primas 
at that time was Imre Magyari, and I have a number of his records.  I would be 
more knowledgeable about Hungarian Gypsies in the U.S. at that time, though.  
But I do think that "popular/folk music scene" would mean Gypsy music.  I've 
met a few Hungarain Gypsy musicians, such as Sandor Jaroka.
