Pop folk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See also: folk pop
Pop-folk is a music-genre consisting of both pop music and folk music.
In the Balkans, pop-folk music refers to a mix of pop, folk, ethno and dance music in which the dominant rhythms are oriental and those of Gypsy music. Although the genre can be seen as a general regional movement, every country defines its own national culture and superstars. That's why it is known under different names; namelyTallava (in Albania,Republic of Macedonia), chalga (in Bulgaria), Laïka (in Greece), manele (in Romania), turbo-folk (in Serbia), and to some extent arabesk (in Turkey). Some artists, however, are well known across the Balkans and the Balkan diaspora and many songs are covered in different languages for relevant markets. The gypsy punk and Hungarian csango musika are akin to these.

Related by means, but not by results (meaning that they lack the recent oriental influence while focusing on the traditional/folk music), are some Balkan or non-Balkan styles like Polish disco polo, Romanian ethno-pop, Carpathian Ska (Ukraine, Slovakia, Hungary, Germany a.o), Balkan Pop. Greek laika itself has a mixed nature, as some of its recent representatives, like Helena Paparizou or Despina Vandi, found their way to the mainstream pop scene.
