Havas Henrik - Benkő Laci

"It's also typical of Dad that he was around 65-66 years old, they were playing in Dresden, and a girl in her twenties threw her room key to the ground along with her panties."
You might think that László Benkő, Omega's legendary keyboardist, needs no introduction to anyone, but Henrik Havas' many new books based on in-depth and informal conversations hold many surprises for even the most sophisticated fans. The framework of the discussions is provided by László Benkő's determined fight against a malignant tumor - something that the author of the volume knows a lot about.
His fellow musicians, his family, and his manager relive the life story of the famously headstrong musician, and the person concerned also plays a large part in the stories: we can find out why Lacika reigns supreme among a group of adults, how the novice Omega played at the American Embassy's summer party, and why he he left there in a freight taxi, how Gina Lollobrigida rushed to the aid of the young musicians, what György Korda has to do with the Hammond organ, and how much of a rift the separation of the Pressers caused - in short, the heroic era of Hungarian popular music comes to life through the lens of Omega.
Thanks to the insightful questions and comments of Henrik Havas, an unprecedented story of two families emerges: one of the Benkő family, and the other of Omega, who rises like a phoenix despite all the arguments, bickering and small-scale quarrels.
