Hungarian Songstress Becomes FBI's Most Wanted

Though we are still missing a motive, it has come to light that a Hungarian musician has been chosen to be showcased on one of American’s most popular crime series, FBI. The suspect, Pátkai Rozina, with accomplice pianist Benkő Dávid, will be featured on an upcoming episode of the long-running show.

While it’s stilly unclear why the script called for a Hungarian song, Pátkai revealed to local news site 24.hu that the tune “Partokon” (“On the Coast”) was chosen from several other Hungarian candidates. The singer told the site (presented here through online translation): “I didn't think that my own Hungarian-language song would be performed live for the first time in the action scene of an American series, as performed by me.” Clues lead to a live performance of “On the Coast” being being played on the show.

The show FBI premiered on American network CBS in 2018 and has had solid ratings since, garnering between 11 and 13 million viewers per season. Given that Hungary’s population doesn’t reach 10 million, that’s quite some exposure for a song in the Hungarian language.

While this a huge opportunity, Pátkai is hardly provincial. The singer performs internationally, and indeed was already nominated for prizes in several categories at the US’s Independent Music Awards over several years.

While we have to wait to see the show, we don’t have to wait to hear the song. Find Partokon below, after which you are free to go.
