t. Stavros on vacation

No, for real.
I like it a lot
Chalga is like Funk Carioca, but less African

chalga is bulgarian and only bulgarian
the serb shit is called turbofolk

all others have different names, but those two are the main ones

>liking chalga of all things
The music of selyacite(peasants) and subhuman gypsies.

the entire country listens to chalga, it's not something that's attributed to one group

youtube.com/watch?v=EZf00ad3G6o
тy би хoyнecт

It doesnt have those connotations outside of the balkans tho, i like turbofolk music too.

Same reason why a lot of foreigners like country music but i feel disgusted when i hear it.

>subhuman gypsies
This song is kinda catchy though, honestly

WTF I love Romania now

I like chalga and the stuff they make in Serbia, like Aco Pejovic and Marina Viskovic

Yeah, I heard about that. It's why I said it is similar to a brazillian music style called funk carioca.
Both the lyrics and the public perception is the same.

I love serbia.

serb meme have weak
bosnija are best memer

I had a Bosnian friend at school, he always listened to this m.youtube.com/watch?v=2qfTzhx9wHE

Post big titties from balkan singers

>the entire country listens to chalga, it's not something that's attributed to one group
There is not a single person in my family or amongst my friends that listens to this garbage.

If you want to listen to Bulgarian music there are real folk songs out there,there are the so called ''stari gradski pesni'',there are the old Bulgarian pop and rock songs.

Fucking Christ..

Turbofolk/chalga is Arabic music with Slavic lyrics. Slovenian music is German with Slavic lyrics. Croatian pop music is Greek music with Slavic lyrics.

youtube.com/watch?v=C_jVUTRPKx8

For real?

Yes, listen to Omar Souleyman and tell me that isn't turbofolk.

This is actually true. Well, turbofolk/chalga actually leans to turkish a bit more, but yes, a mix of arabic too. Croatian music also has some italian mix.

youtube.com/watch?v=wPGMIrFgIAw

what about this?

The intro is obviously turkish/arabic sounding melody, but a little bit modernized.

But.. actual ethno music in Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia is something that is it's own and unique.

I can show you a few good examples.

You can hear elements of gypsy horn music (trubači) and of Turkish music, but also of western pop.

Sure, go ahead.

Btw, is there a name for the weird voice thing these people do? maybe a traditional vocal trick the balkans do?

Chalga comes from Çalgı which means musical instrument

I'll give you quite a few of Bosniak traditional ethnic songs. Maybe a few Serb ones too. Brb.

fugg didn't mean to post 3rd :d

Arabic/Turkic music has developed under Byzantine influence, though. It's not all full-on Islamic.

no problem, pham

(kinda personal)

Well, if you're interested, Dalmatia has the "klapa" genre, but it has more of a Mediterranean sounds than a Balkanic one. Traditionally, it's sung by a group of men with little or no instruments.

There's some fun folk songs in the North as well.

youtube.com/watch?v=vu1O6QBXBD8
youtube.com/watch?v=cb27-xPdej8

Just in case you're looking for more than just the Eastern-sounding Balkan pop.

Old Yugoslav rock is a goldmine with folk elements, as well.

This type of music is called "Sevdalinka". It's native to Bosnia and the Bosniak people.

youtube.com/watch?v=EbbFHzZ_Zh0

There are plenty more of these. Some of the ones I listed above are songs that have been passed down the generations in Bosnia for centuries, some are newer but still pretty old.

>real folk songs
I really like these.

youtube.com/watch?v=p1OZjvBrJgs

Now there are newer compositions, not exactly sevdalinka, but you know. Still ethno music of Bosnia.

Lastly, this is my favorite.
youtube.com/watch?v=oYdPzce7MZs

It is not even arabic. It is Ottoman music which came from Byzantium which preceeds arabs in the empire

youtube.com/watch?v=_WBLXP6_UG8
This is also good.

True, but you're forgetting that Byzantians today are Anadolian Turks. Same people basically.

Do you know this song?
youtube.com/watch?v=fu7UoTTADvw


Oh, this one has a lot of the elements I love about these styles..

So not arabs

Ehh, every music style has at least a little influence from another culture. Every single music style, so yes, a bit of arabic too, habibi.

>habibi

i don't like stuff like that.
