Index – Culture – László Benkő was buried

Finally he said goodbye to family, friends and fellow musicians of László Benkő, Kossuth Award-winning keyboard composer and Omega Liszt, one of the undisputed legends of Hungarian rock.

Although 15,000 people signed up with László Benkő’s son, Balázs Benkő, to bid farewell to the founding member of Omega, only the small family was able to be present at the ceremony held in the Farkasréti cemetery due to the epidemic situation and regulations.

The burial place was provided by the capital, the funeral by the Hungarian state.

With his art and kindness, my father managed that for a moment, instead of politics, nothing was important but love and respect.

Said Benkő’s son when the rock legend died.

The dominant Hungarian rock figure died after a long illness on November 28, and millions of fans and admirers mourn him both at home and around the world.
