Summary/Abstract: The instrumental Macedonian ethnopop music is particularly interesting phenomenon because of its development and prolonged existence in conditions with persistent internal influences of the social and economic environment, but also external influences from the neighboring and distant music cultures. These influences have determined the way of the creation of this music and its final musical products. 353 The instrumental Macedonian ethnopop music was the main subject of interest in one of my previous researches dedicated to its most profound development especially in the 1980ties. In this paper the primary focus is set to the tonal and formal characteristics of this music as a unique music phenomenon and its musical pieces as its primary product. The conclusions will be based on the analysis of the music characteristics of the recorded material which forms the database of the sample of 100 music pieces. Also, a special attention will be dedicated to the creativity, in other words to the process of creation of the instrumental Macedonian ethnopop music versus the reproductive process of this music.
