The music of Croatia like the divisions of the country itself has two major influences: a Central European one present in central and northern parts of the country and in Slavonia and a Mediterranean one present in coastal regions of Dalmatia and Istria.In Croatia both pop and rock are popular as well as pop music influenced by Dalmatian or Slavonian folk elements.From the mid-20th century onwards so-called schlager music and chanson-inspired music have formed the backbone of the Croatian popular music.
