Slovenian music, brought to the United States by immigrants in the early years of the 20th century, evolved from its traditional form to forms influenced by American popular music as succeeding generations assimilated into the American culture. Its history, as documented and preserved in the medium of phonograph records, is described in this paper. Included are profiles of the recording artists and other individuals who made significant contributions.

Slovenska glasba, ki so jo v Združene države Amerike prinesli izseljenci v zgodnjih letih 20. stoletja, se je ob asimilaciji naslednje generacije ameriški kulturi iz tradicionalnih oblik razvila v obliko, na katero je vplivala ameriška popularna glasba. V prispevku je opisana zgodovina te glasbe, kakor je dokumentirana in ohranjena na gramofonskih ploščah; pri tem so vključene tudi značilnosti izvajalcev in drugih posameznikov, ki so pomembno prispevali k nastanku posnetkov.
