Conference paper

Abstract
The paper discusses the historic, geographic and social dimension of
the concept of the Mediterranean in the musical culture of the Croats.
In Croatia, the concept of Mediterranean in musical culture — and in
general — is largely linked geographically with southern Croatia
(the narrow coastal strip and island region) and with the
neighbouring Mediterranean countries (Italy and Greece). The term
Mediterranean is associated mainly with expression of both popular
music and traditional music, but does not coincide with state borders,
indicating the importance of continuity in contacts at all levels of
communication.
