Folk music is an English term encompassing both traditional music and contemporary folk music. The term originated in the 19th century. Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. It has become increasingly common to refer to this type of music as traditional music.
Starting in the middle of the 20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional music. This process and period is called the folk revival and reached a peak in the 1960s. The most common name for this new form of music is also "folk music", but is often called "folk revival music" or "contemporary folk music" to make the distinction.[1] This type of folk music also includes fusion genres such as folk rock, electric folk, folk metal, progressive folk, psychedelic folk, freak folk and neofolk. While contemporary folk music is a genre generally distinct from traditional music, it often shares the same English name, performers and venues as traditional music; even individual songs may be a blend of the two.
folk music is one of the genre which was introduced long ago by our fore fathers and even earlier.It was introduced long ago.Folk music mostly is sang in feasts and festivals,its has become a part of cultural.This type of songs or music refers to one's feelings.In context of Nepal it is still in practice or we can say Nepalese are preserving this culture,this is a part of Nepalese culture for instance singing folk songs or plating folk music at the time of sowing crops,marriage,and other feasts it is one of the important part of feasts.
