Bonanza Banzai

À propos de Bonanza Banzai

Bonanza Banzai were the Hungarian synth-pop band that defined late-1980s Magyar new wave, formed in 1987 around singer Ákos Kovács and his brother Levente. Their three studio albums between 1988 and 1991 mapped Erasure, Depeche Mode, and Yazoo onto Hungarian-language teen romanticism, and the singalong "Induljon a banzáj" became the era's signature TV anthem. The split in 1995 sent Ákos into a long-running solo career; the original band's catalogue has been periodically reissued and reunion-toured ever since.
