Summary/Abstract: The musical life of Sremska Mitrovica during the period of socialist Yugoslavia is viewed in the light of tripartite division into serious, folk and popular music. Within this division, the diversity of musical events is determined by the legacy of cultural distance between different social classes, but is not explicitly marked by the relationship between art music and other genres which do not reach their aesthetic rank. In addition to serious music, the main area of musical life in Sremska Mitrovica during Yugoslav socialism comprised folk music in the form of an urbanized, institutionalized and festivalized folklore tradition, as well as popular music based on the naturalization of global mass musical culture.
