(Im)possibility of doing Ethnomusicology Beyond Urban/rural Dichotomy

Is the dichotomy between urban and rural music still alive today and what forms does it assume in a European country in the 21st century? How do active musicians percieve this dichotomy and does it still play a role in their lives and music careers? My case study will focus on popular music bands and gig players from Križevci-Koprivnica county, Croatia, who play in both towns and villages. What different music scenes are there in existence in this region today, how does the music repertoire change according to these different scenes and do the differences between them reflect a clear separation between the rural and the urban? Can these differences also be traced in the economic aspects of music-making in the region? My research will also discuss the paradigmatic changes within the ethnomusicological discipline as well as real-life socio-political changes which affected the perception of the urban/rural dichotomy.
