Dankó is a rare example of a Rom that was born into poverty and then
rose to relative fame and fortune. He primarily did this by working to
satisfy the musical taste of the public, and thus achieving popularity.
As is often the case, Dankó received a considerable amount of
recognition after his death, when following generations of Hungarians
were even more enthusiastic and accepting of his music.
A public
statue of Dankó was erected in Szeged, on the bank of the Tisza river. A
Hungarian-language film named Dankó Pista was also made based on his
life, released in January 1941
