Turbofolk: Music Of The Yugoslav War

Turbo folk emerged in the early 90s Balkans as a controversial music genre blending folk, techno, and pop elements, particularly popular in Croatia, Bosnia, and Serbia. The genre evolved during the Yugoslav War, splitting into two distinct styles: one focused on glamorous lifestyle themes, and another promoting militant nationalism. Notable artists like Ceca and Thompson shaped the genre's development while reflecting the region's complex political climate.
