Abstract

This paper deals with urban folk music in Serbia (whilst considering its roots in pre-World War II Yugoslavia). During its history this music was influenced by cultural practices from the (Ottoman) East and from the West (from Austro-Hungarian to contemporary global pop), combined with local semi-rural lyrical repertoire. Urban folk music is regarded as specific traditional Balkan popular music.
