Reprezentacije »ciganskosti« na jugoslovanskem diskografskem trgu od šestdesetih do devetdesetih let 20. stoletja

The aim of this paper is to present how the Yugoslav folk music discography, which was primarily systematized according to the ethnicity and regionality of the music and performers, represented Roma music. “Gypsy songs” and “Gypsy orchestras” had a significant place on the Serbian and Yugoslav folk music market since the beginning of Yugoslav discography, i.e. from the beginning of the 20th century, which continued throughout the century both in radio and television programming. In this paper, I consider how this minority music was represented, especially bearing in mind that music making was stereotypically considered one of the typical Romani professions. Were Romani recordings present in Yugoslav market to the extent as it was the case with Romani live performances, and what were the strategies, but also the goals of presenting “Gypsiness” in Yugoslav discography?
