Czechoslovak Singer-Songwriters and Their Role in the First Post-Communist Decade (1989–1999): A Case Study of the Social Functions and Politics of Popular Music
Original language description
The Velvet Revolution, which took place in 1989, not only meant the end of the Communistregime, but according to numerous music journalists, musicians as well as academics, it alsomeant “the end of folk music” as a specific genre following the model of Western engagedsinger-songwriters of the 1960s, and from that time typically associated with protest, mostlywith an anti-communist focus, in the Czech environment. Based on an analysis of originalsources, the article examines the development of Czechoslovak folk music from the 1960s andprimarily focuses on its identity transformation in relation to the changes brought about by therevolutionary year 1989. Through the analysis, it is concluded that although the decline of thesinger-songwriter scene in the 1990s was perceived as a reaction to the change in the politicalregime and the “disappearance of the common enemy”, it was also the result of the develop-ment of the genre as such in the national and international context.
