Split - capital of turbo-folk music: Croats enjoying it, Serbian music resounds throughout the city
Split has become a center of folk music
Croatian stars are coming to Serbia for years, and our cinema is very open to actors from the neighborhood. However, is it the same with the other side?

Croatia has been defending from Serbian folk singers for years and they did not want to admit them, however, they really like them. It is known that our country has many singers, at least in the former Yugoslavia territory. Our singers are going wherever they have fans, even in Croatia.
A text appeared on "Slobodna Dalmacija" and we are transmitting it entirely:
- One of the most beautiful clubs in Split-Dalmatia county was Imperium in Split port. Opened in early spring four years ago, with romantic concert by Oliver Dragojevic, and it soon became a club where romantic is forgotten and "dynamic" is settled.
Pop-folk concert of Zeljko Bebak followed, and soon, the sound in Imperium "hardened" and concerts of fold singers from the neighborhood followed.
Carefully architecturally designed interior is inevitably facing the sound of Folker sounds that are not even on the A-list of popularity among fans. Club slowly sank into the trash and debts, only to be closed after two years of hibernation by tax inspection.
Folk-music in Split had its other havens. One of the toughest was obscure Paganini, cult Split club from the eighties, which became a strip-oasis "Dolls".
Dank smell of a bomb shelter turned into a club that has long since lost its former luster was most appealing to those who like to hear "howling of a singer in pain" when everything else is being closed, after five or six in the morning.
"Marry" repertoire
However, folk did not remain reserved for the "after closing time the party", but is was increasingly adopted, and, finally, domesticated. When last year, turbo-folk singer from Montenegro, with address in Belgrade, Boban Rajovic managed to fill the "Spaladium arena", psychologists stood up, sociologists and journalists who analyzed the case at the level of the phenomenon.
Actually, the fact is this: Split the "folk-friendly" city, a musical genre that has become the mainstream of a great part of youth.
Club "Chaos" where Rada Manojlovic is coming and people are searching for tickets wherever they can, also for Ana Bekuta, Sandra Afrika, and from last weekend, for the "troubled artists", never more asked for Aca Lukas from Belgrade.
