Romani Singer Joci Papai makes it to the finals for Hungary

[Mortimer]

First time a Romani singer represented Hungary at the Eurovision. Its not the first Romani at Eurovision though. In 2009 a Romani group represented the czech republic but didnt made it to the finals. His music is a mix of romani music and hip hop. http://www.romea.cz/en/news/world/vi...9nKGM.facebook
