Turbo-folk

Turbo-folk (Serbian Cyrillic: турбо-фолк) is a subgenre of contemporary South Slavic pop music that initially developed in Serbia during the 1990s as a fusion of techno and folk. The term "turbo-folk" was coined by Montenegrin singer Rambo Amadeus, who jokingly used it to describe an aggressive, satirical style of music. While he coined the term, according to Rambo Amadeus, the origin of the turbo-folk sound came with the 1984 album Der Osten ist Rot. While primarily associated with Serbia, this genre is also popular in other former Yugoslav nations, particularly Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
