Episodes 304 and 305 - The Unsung History of Turbofolk (Side C and Side D)

Download

Last week was heavy. We ended on a pretty sour note. This week is slightly better if only because you get to hear some actual music and we talk a lot less about war criminals. Operative word here being less; in side C we're talking about Ceca which means we must talk about Arkan. 

After that we then get start to look at some of the other popular turbofolk artists that emerged in the late 90s and 00s. 

In side D we look at modern turbofolk. It's still hugely popular in some areas of the Balkans, in particular Croatia. So we dive into some recent examples from the genre and then take a wee peek into what the future of the genre might be.
