"Boheme" is the Grammy Award Winning (for Best World Music Album) second album of the French duo Deep Forest, released in 35 countries. It mainly sampled Eastern European gypsy songs (e.g. the Bohemians, hence the name of the album) with electronic music. Hit singles included "Marta's Song" (featuring Márta Sebestyén) and "Freedom Cry". The album itself became the duo's most successful one, selling over 4 million copies and receiving a number of Diamond, Platinum and Gold awards in 15 countries.

The song "Freedom Cry" has later caused controversy when it was revealed that the singer, Károly "Huttyán" Rostás, never actually received any monetary compensation from the song, and neither did his family after he died in 1986. His singing was archived by Claude Flagel, which was later sampled by Deep Forest. Flagel allegedly paid Huttyán 1500 forints for the recording [http://www.szabadfold.hu/cikk.php?id=6152 Szabad Föld Online - A naprakész hetilap ] ] . The case was later documented in a movie entitled "Huttyán", released in 1996. [http://nda.sztaki.hu/kereso/index.php?a=get&id=2539&pattern= Huttyán (NDA@SZTAKI) ] ]
