Pop music and rock is more popular in Croatia than folk music, albeit the folk/pop combinations fare the best.
Singers such as Oliver Dragojević, Ivo Robić, Arsen Dedić, DarkoDomjan, Tereza Kesovija, Gabi Novak, Ivica Šerfezi, Doris Dragović, Severina, Gibonni and many others base their sound on the traditional sound of the regions they're from.
Among the folk-pop artists, many combine the oriental sound more commonly associated with the folk music of Bosnia and Serbia with the more traditional melodies of Croatia and Dalmatia.
Of special note is the Split festival which usually produces the best summer hits.
Seasoned pop singers in Croatia include: Mišo Kovač, Ivo Robić, Vice Vukov, Arsen Dedić, Zdenka Vučković, DarkoDomjan, Tereza Kesovija, Gabi Novak, Ivica Šerfezi, Oliver Dragojević, Tomislav Ivčić, Doris Dragović, and many others.
In more recent times, younger performers such as Severina, Gibonni, Marko Perković/Thompson, Toni Cetinski, Divas, E.N.I. Lvky and many others have captured the attention of the pop audience.Each of them has successfully blended various influences into their distinct music style.
