Serbian Folk Music Puns

Hi, have been travelling in the Balkans for a month, and love the traditional music (especially in Serbia). I really like the very fast, complex music. Can anyone recommend a compilation, even that I could buy?

I wonder how the dance got its names.

The vocalist was a fatter dude with gold/silver chains around his neck. I think he was in a very colorful suit. They were sitting around a table with the band under some kind of gazeboo.

Serbian Folk music is really interesting, I don't personally listen to it a lot but I found myself knowing a lot of songs just from clubbing and social occasions, so here's a quick guide to our best stuff.

Before we start I have to point out that our songs are either party songs for celebration or heartbreaking songs that make you brake glass (literally the topic in Dajte Vina Hoću Lom and Polomicu čaše od kristala)

I also love our genre cause it's so unique. I never heard of a track that's as heart wrenching and emotional as Kraljice Srca Moga but still perfect for a drunk party setting, but besides the heart break lyrics you also get really catchy hooks with great instrumentation like Mustuluk by Haris Džinović

So, here are the songs we would use as basically party songs, but for specific kinds of parties. Usually these are on every playlist for every big, alcohol related celebration or like at the club past 1 in the morning

Kraljice Srca Moga - Šaban Šaulić (my favorite)

Vino tocim a vino ne pijem - Miroslav Ilić

Polomicu Čaše Od kristala - Miroslav Ilić

Luckasta Si Ti - Miroslav Ilić

Nije Život Jedna Žena - Miroslav Ilić

Kraljice Srca Moga - Šaban šaulic

Odlaziš, Odlaziš - Šaban šaulic

Da Li znaš - Đani

Još Te Sanjam - Đani

Ti si zena za sva vremena - Milan dinčić Dinca

Bela Ciganka - Stoja

Do Gole Kože - Stoja

Nije Monotonija - Ceca

Rađaj Sinove - Džej

Ko Se S Nama Druži - Džej

Basically this list starts off with the classics that you'll hear at family celebrations a lot cause everyone knows them, that leads up to Đani and there you get more trendy, Ceca and Stoja have lots of songs playing right now in clubs plus Ceca has hits on hits on hits as well as Miroslav Ilić

The artists you can look into from this list are Ceca for more poppy, really catchy tracks, Miroslav Ilić for the classic happy party tracks, Haris Džinović and Aca Lukas are a great bridge between the classics and that more modern take and I'll stop there because then I'll get into our more pop oriented tracks and that's a lot to go through (cough Jelena Karleuša cough)

Its also tricky cause people do lots of covers and we have lots of basically one hit wonders so I recommend to just go through the recommended pages on YouTube, especially the more viewed stuff

And that's about it, if you have any questions I'll gladly answer them!

Hey. Foreigner here. Please share with me, your favourite strange, controversial or unusual Serbian musical acts. I'd really love to dive in the rabbithole of these things. I don't have any preferences when it comes to specific genres, but with all due respect for your culture, miss me with the turbofolk stuff and the diesel-power crap.

Love y'all. Hope to get some nice suggestions.

Edit: Holy shit! Y'all absolutely spoiled me. I knew that I'd get a few but now I've got Serbian music for months. Thanks!

Full comment chain.

"We liberated Vukovar".

"Why can't we have some reasonable bosnian serb posters".

Bosnian serb caught posting from multiple accounts on reddit.

somebody posts patriotic turbofolk. Obviously.

It's main conposition of the emission, and plays trough the video (mainly at start and end of the episodes)

Here is the one episode, basically intro and song at the end, thanks in advance :)
