As a composer with extensive experience in many areas – from hits and chansons that won many awards, writing of classical music and then film music - Alfi Kabiljo is probably one of the most inherent musical authors in Croatian/Yugoslav film, as well as oreign productions. His film opus is quite extensive. Out of about fifty soundtracks for feature, documentary and commercial films and about a hundred scores for the television, all of his music is representative and often has a cult status.

The many different genres of films that he worked on, required from Kabiljo to adjust stylistically, not just to the genre at hand but also to the atmosphere, acting, costumes and set design, place of shooting and especially to the ideas of directors and producers. However, as a true film “chameleon” (an adjective that the composers of the Golden Age of Hollywood were especially proud of) he did not have any trouble composing “partisan” music (Pad Italije), „frightful“ music (Seljačka buna, Pad Italije), jazz (Deps), „western“-music (Sky Bandits), songs of any style (Lea And Darija, Kužiš stari moj, Deps, A Patriotic Man, Ne daj se, Floki), and even charleston and foxtrot inspired by the dance music of the 1930’s (Lea and Darija).
