Serbian folk music (Serbian: српска народна музика / srpska narodna muzika) refers to, in the narrow sense, the "older" style of Serbian folk music, predating the "newer" (Serbian: новокомпонована / novokomponovana, "newly composed") style which emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as a result of urbanisation. The characteristic musical instruments included the accordion and violin, while traditional instruments such as tamburica, frula, were also used.
