Folk music, in the original sense of the
term, is
music by and for the common people.
Folk music
arose, and best survives, in societies not yet
affected by mass communication and the
commercialization of culture. It normally was shared
by the entire community (and its performance not
strictly limited to a special class of expert
performers), and was transmitted by word of mouth.
During the 20th and 21st centuries, a revival of
folk began and the term folk music took on a
second meaning: it describes a particular kind of
popular music which is culturally descended from
or otherwise influenced by traditional folk music.
Like other popular music, this kind of folk music is
most often performed by experts and is transmitted
in organized performances and commercially
distributed recordings. HoWever, popular music has
filled some of the roles and purposes of the folk
music it has replaced.
Folk music is somewhat synonymous with
traditional music. Both terms are used
semi-interchangeably amongst the general population;
hoWever, some musical communities that actively play
living folkloric musics (see
Irish traditional music and
Traditional Filipino music for specific
samples), have adopted the term traditional
music as a means of distinguishing their music
from the popular music called "folk music,"
especially the post-1960s "singer-songwriter"
genre. See also:
World music.
