Language, cultural space and meaning in the phenomenon of "Cro-dance"

Baker, Catherine

Authors



Abstract

"Cro-dance" was a musical trend in 1990s Croatia which combined north-west European dance music with lyrics in Croatian and often English, unlike most Croatian popular music which used Croatian language only. This paper applies ideas from sociolinguistics and anthropology to the interplay of languages in these musical texts and the wider cultural narratives with which performers, producers and listeners have associated them. © 2010-2013 Cairn.info.
