Drawing on a wide range of archival resources and over 40 interviews with composers, lyricists, singers, and bureaucrats, Tochka describes how popular music became integral to governmental projects to improve society and a major concern for both state-socialist and post-socialist regimes between 1945 and the present.Popular musicPolitical aspectsAlbaniaMusic and statePopular musicAlbaniaHistory and criticismPopular musicPolitical aspectsMusic and state.Popular musicHistory and criticism.781.64094965Tochka Nicholas1234040MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136229403321Audible states2866445UNINA
