Folk music is a genre of traditional, often rural music that was originally passed down through generations by way of oral traditions. It represents the life, culture, and traditions of a community, often involving collective participation and storytelling through simple melodies and instruments. Folk music is typically learned through hearing rather than reading and is associated with various social activities, rituals, and work. In the 20th century, it also evolved into a contemporary genre during the folk revival, blending traditional elements with modern influences.
