ФОЛКЛОР И ЊЕГОВА ЈУ-РОК ТРАНСПОЗИЦИЈА
FOLKLORE AND ITS YU-ROCK TRANSPOSITION

Summary/Abstract: Since the end of the 1960s, and especially during the 1970s, up until the end of the night decade of the 20th century, rock was massively popular in The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (in the further text: Yugoslavia). This country existed from 1943 to 1991 and represented the alliance of six republics that are autonomous states nowadays – Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. During the period from 1960 to 1990 there was a great number of music bands who were performing rock music and even in these earliest examples it was possible to distinguish the work techniques that are typical of World Music (in the further text: WM), genre that would face its expansion only later. The purpose of this text is to show that the styles of music expression used in WM genre were present in Yugoslavia long before 1987, when it was established and defined in the manner that we are familiar with nowadays. It is important to emphasize that all of the bands from the territory of Yugoslavia who were using these styles have been taken into account. The text encompasses the period from 1960, when this genre was only beginning to develop in Yugoslavia, until the beginning of the 1990s, when Yugoslavia ceased to exist, and rock music slowly started making ways for some new musical genres.
