This interdisciplinary course explores relationships between popular music, society, gender, and politics across the Balkan peninsula from the 1970s to the present. As time permits, course topics will include state-sanctioned socialist pop genres; Eurovision and other festivals; Bulgarian wedding music, pop-folk (chalga), and EDM; Yugoslav “newly-composed folk music,” turbo-folk, and the Yugoslav wars of secession; Bosnian sevdalinke and hip-hop; Romanian manele; Slovenian rock; Turkish arabesk; Greek rebetika and laika; and more. Course materials will draw upon recordings, music videos, and films in addition to anthropological, area, and ethnomusicological studies. While the ability to hear, identify, and understand the significance of regional genres and their distinguishing features is a primary course objective, students from both within and outside the School of Music are encouraged to enroll; instructor expectations will be modified accordingly.
