Her musical talent was evident from early on. When she was 11, her family moved to Austria due to the 1956 Hungarian Uprising. There she met her husband Mi\u0161o Nikoli\u0107 and had her first public appearance on the initiative of the music ethnologist Ursula Hemetek. She then founded the band &#8220;Ru\u017ea Nikoli\u0107-Lakatos and The Gypsy Family&#8221; with her husband and sons and gained international fame. Passing on the song tradition to younger generations was particularly important to her. It is thanks to her that the songs of the Lovara in Austria were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83e\udd8b Ruza Nikolic \ud83e\udd8b\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/be7LPJ2TB5Y\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Romani singer Ru\u017ea Nikoli\u0107-Lakatos passed away yesterday at the age of 77.
