Turbo-folk is a popular musical sub-genre that originated in Serbia, Balkans. Though it is closely associated with performers from Serbia, it continues to be very popular in the other former Yugoslav republics, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Additionally, turbo-folk is also present in Albania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Turkey, Macedonia and Greece where it is enjoyed alongside Chalga, Arabesk and Laïka, the corresponding local genres.
A very similar style of music is popular in Romania, where it is known as Manele.
Together with Romanian Manele, Bulgarian Chalga and Greek Laïka, the genres go under the name of Pop-folk.
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.

However, the commercial success of the turbo folk phenomenon left no musician immune to it. Later on, it became mainstream.
Pre-origin of turbo folk in its native sense was in 1991. There were several illegal radio stations in New Belgrade's Blokovi neighbourhood. Owner of one was DJ W-ICE who mixed folk songs with dance rhythm, and broadcast them. Later he appeared in Zorica Brunclik's video, and then in other commercial folk performers' videos.
However, a few more years would pass before the term turbo folk made a comeback in earnest. Year 1993 was one of severe economic hardship and galloping inflation in FR Yugoslavia. War was being fought only a few hundred kilometers away and the country was under an international trade embargo; and many Serbian citizens sought solace in the escapist sounds of commercial folk music.
Commercial turbo-folk seemed to take its presentation up a notch in this period. Hedonism and a flip-off attitude became prominent themes. Songs like "Ne može nam niko ništa" (No one can touch us) by Mitar Mirić, singing about a couple's love surviving against all odds but also implicitly defiantly celebrating Serbia's isolated international position appealed to the general sentiment and the strength of the Serb people.
Still, if there is a single song that widely launched the turbo folk phenomenon, it would be 1994's "200 na sat" (200 per Hour) - an energetic tune about speed and sports cars performed by Ivan Gavrilović.The song is a cover of 2 Unlimited's eurodance hit "No Limit." The same song was later covered, by Croatian parody group Vatrogasci, as "Nema ograniÄenja" in which the phrase "turbo folk" is explicitly mentioned in the chorus line. On the same day, "200 na sat" and "Gori more, tope se planine" (Sea is burning, mountains are melting) by Željko Å aÅ¡ić were first aired on Belgrade TV Palma. That event should be considered as turbo-folk manifest.
Soon, a distinct style would be known by that name. Short-skirted, leggy girls such as Ceca, Mira Škorić, Dragana Mirković, Snežana Babić Sneki, and so on, all of whom were already established performers (though with slightly more demure attitudes), quickly embraced the new style, letting go of most inhibitions and going on to become some of turbo-folk's biggest stars.
The mix of scantily clad young women, lascivious stage movements and innocuous, accessible lyrics proved to be the winning combination that launched many performing careers and ensured high ratings for plenty of television stations across Serbia.
SmörgÃ¥sbord (Swedish pronunciation: [ËŒsmÅ“rÉ¡É”sˈbuËÉ–]) is a type of Scandinavian meal served buffet-style with multiple dishes of various foods on a table, originating in Sweden.[1] In Norway it is called koldtbord and in Denmark it is called kolde bord. SmörgÃ¥sbord became internationally known as Smorgasbord at the 1939 New York World's Fair when it was offered at the Swedish Pavilion's "Three Crowns Restaurant."[2] It is typically a celebratory meal and guests can help themselves from a range of dishes laid out for their choice. In a restaurant, the term refers to a buffet-style table laid out with many small dishes from which, for a fixed amount of money, one is allowed to choose as many as one wishes.dakle, turbo folk sadrži zvuke Å¡vedskog stola i narodne muzike
