Turbo-folk is a popular musical sub-genre that originated in Serbia, the Balkans. Having mainstream popularity in Serbia, although closely associated with Serbian performers, its sound is as popular in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Montenegro. Its style is a sub-genre of folk music with dance and/or pop elements (pop-folk, dance-pop etc), with equivalent styles in Greece (Laika and Skyladiko), Romania (Manele), Bulgaria and Republic of Macedonia (chalga, pop-folk), It is seen by some as negative in mainstream in a lot of countries where Turbo-folk is popular. Other related styles exist in Albania (Tallava) and Turkey (Arabesk). The term turbo folk itself was coined by Rambo Amadeus, who used it jokingly during the late 1980s in order to describe his own strange smorgasbord sound combining various styles and influences. At the time, the term was nothing more than a soundbite, the phrase being intentionally humorous for combining two contradictory concepts - "turbo," evoking an image of modern industrial progress and "folk," a symbol of tradition and rural conservatism.
