Mandopop or mandapop refers to popular music sung in Standard Mandarin, primarily songs from Mainland China and Taiwan. The genre originated from the jazz-influenced popular music of 1930s Shanghai known as Shidaiqu ("period music"); later influences included Japanese enka, Hong Kong's Cantopop, Taiwanese Hokkien pop, and particularly the campus folk song movement of the 1970s.
