Music
Music in Croatia has two major influences: the Central European one, present in the central and northern parts of the country, as well as in Slavonia, and the Mediterranean one, particularly present in the coastal regions of Dalmatia and Istria.
In Croatia, both pop and rock are popular, and often incorporates Dalmatian or Slavonian folk elements. From the mid-20th century onwards, schlagers and chanson-inspired music have formed the backbone of the Croatian popular music.

the night they left me
in this private institution on a hill.”
