	CER \| Hungary: Untamed Art of Music
		Some of the most insidious treatment of the Roma in recent times can be said to have been at the hands of political and even academic authorities in their ideological attempts to assimilate and demythologise the Roma through forced sedentarisation policies and extensive (sometimes invasive) anthropological study.
		The concept of the Rom as professional performer of Hungarian music took hold in the austere social climate of a post-Counter-Reformation Hungary, in which music came to be frowned upon as a morally undesirable activity, particularly for members of the noble and aristocratic classes (considered the most representative section of Hungarian society).
		Though music as a middle- or upper-class profession was stymied in Hungary by social convention, many amateur composers belonged to these classes and could only find an expressive outlet for their work through the performances of the Roma musicians.
