I would say no but not really by choice, it's just.. never presented to me/Idk any of it

This is Anna Lesko's best song though. And interestingly it's more Russian/Ukrainian-sounding than Balkan (Anna lives in Romania but has East Slavic origins)

How about Inna's music?  She is quite popular in LATAM, you might have heard some of her songs without knowing who was singing.

I only know her song Hot but that song is a timeless iconic bop! Potentially I know other songs without knowing it's her. Even tho I barely know her I know she's an icon in dance music 

It reminds me of Stereo Love, is that Balkan?

I mean we have the debate of whether or not Romania is Balkan, and according to many definions it is, so Stereo Love counts. And so does Dragostea din Tei by O-Zone and Mr Saxobeat by Alexandra Stan. 

But I guess Balkan music can mean

1) music influenced by local Balkan tunes like the turbofolk of Serbia

2) music generally created in a Balkan country even if it doesn't have any clear Balkan features

Also we have Toca Toca by Fly Project (Cuppcake remix) going viral on Tiktok and that's another Romanian/Balkan song.

Then I've definitely dabbled in it, loved Alexandra Stan's music! I probably won't but if I did look more into it I'm sure I'd add a bunch of Balkan songs to my library.  I haven't heard the Cuppcake remix before but it was a bop! I thought it was gonna be a different tiktok song ahaha that I can't find!

On this note, I heard lots of Romanian songs on Tiktok lately.. but I bet nobody knows they are Romanian. Like lately I watched a Floptok compilation and one clip was using the sound of a SUPER EXPLICIT Romanian song  why did they use this particular song, were these pp even aware of the lyrics.. lots of questions.
