Parno Graszt is a Roma music ensemble from Paszab, Hungary founded in 1987. "Parno Grast" means "white horse" in the Romani language,[1] with "graszt" using the Hungarian orthography 'sz' for 's'. In the Roma culture white is a symbol of purity and horses are a symbol of freedom. Their debut album Hit the piano reached Number 7 on the World Music Chart Europe in October 2002.[2] In 2004 Hungarian Television and the BBC produced a music documentary about Parno Graszt.[3] After their second album, Járom az utam (2004), Parno Graszt was voted in the top 10 for "best artist of the year", 2005, by the Swiss music magazine Vibrations.[4] In 2016, they competed in A Dal, the national final selection for Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Már nem szédülök, and reached the final.
