Chalga music or Pop-folk is a genre of popular Bulgarian music that originated in the early 90s after the fall of the Communist regime. Purportedly based on the rhythms of the Bulgarian folklore music (which was more evident in the first years), chalga music has risen to immense popularity in recent years.

Chalga music causes much controversy among the Bulgarian people. Condemned by rock, metal and pop music fans, who blame it for being of low quality and unsophisticated, despised by intellectuals for its plainness, promiscuous female singers with one-name pseudonyms and lack of thoughtful messages, chalga remains one of the most popular types of music in Bulgaria, if not the one most cherished. Moreover, it has influenced a lifestyle of never-ending parties in the most expensive and luxury night-clubs in the country, a standard for glamor appearance, a desire for luxury goods such as expensive cars, homes, and jewelry, and a new image of how a sexy man or woman should look.

Retro Chalga singers, or the pioneers in Chalga are famous for their most often profane and even vulgar song lyrics.
