Popularna je glazba u Zagrebu između dvaju svjetskih ratova bila raznovrsna. Najzastupljenija je bila plesna glazba koju su izvodili salonski i jazz-orkestri, a najčešći su plesovi bili black-bottom, charleston, tango, valcer i foxtrot. Takvi su orkestri izvodili i jazz – – uglavnom dixieland i swing. Popularna se glazba izvodila na raznovrsnim proslavama, (plesnim) zabavama, u kabaretima, gostionicama, restoranima, kavanama, u kinima i na radiju. Kabaret se pojavio na početku 1920-ih, obuhvativši u sklopu svojih predstava kuplete, romanse, šlagere te arije iz opereta i opera. Šlager je usto bio dijelom opereta i zvučnih filmova, ali i samostalna glazbena vrsta. Važne su sastavnice popularnoglazbene scene međuratnog razdoblja bili izdavači muzikalija, radio, gramofonske tvrtke, časopisi koji su pratili i promicali popularnu glazbu te sami skladatelji, tekstopisci, aranžeri, prevoditelji i izvođači popularne glazbe. Popular music in Zagreb between the two world wars was diverse. The most widely diffused was dance music performed by salon and jazz orchestras, with music for the black-bottom, Charleston, tango, waltz and foxtrot being the most common. These orchestras also performed jazz, mostly Dixieland, and swing styles. Popular music was present at various celebrations, (dance) parties, in cabarets, inns, restaurants, cafes, and cinemas, and on the radio. Cabaret appeared at the beginning of the 1920s with couplets, romances, schlager songs and arias from operas and operettas as parts of its show. Schlager songs were included in operetta and talking films, which appeared in Zagreb in 1927, but were also an independent musical genre. Publishers of sheet music, radio and gramophone companies, magazines which followed up and promoted popular music, as well as composers, text writers, arrangers, translators and performers of popular music were the main components of the popular music scene between the two world wars in Zagreb.
