Sažetak
In 1947, two years after the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was founded, the country saw emergence of state-owned record company Jugoton, based in Zagreb, Croatia. It was the leading record label in Yugoslavia, and the only one active during the first 15 years of its existence. That period was still the time of shellac records that have been scarcely preserved and largely neglected to this day. The remaining records, along with music catalogues, today serve as testimonies of a large recorded corpus whose significant part comprises of folk music of various ethnic and regional groups residing in the Federal Republic at the time. Whether it’s an unarranged or stylized folk expression, the origin would generally be noted on the label itself, and as such dispersed throughout the Yugoslav territory. The aim of this paper is to scrutinize relationship between the production of ethnic music on shellac records and the market. Research of business model behind production could reveal the level of impact which essentially market- driven policy of record industry caused on the state-owned record company of Socialist Federal Republic. Having this in mind, a part of the analysis deals with the involvement of amateur and professional musicians in record production, and along that line, the role that folk music played in the emergence of contemporary folk-inspired music genres that eventually evolved into a thriving business for the local record industry.
