 Indian folk music | | India has a very rich tradition of folk music. The extreme cultural diversity creates
endless varieties of folk styles. Each region has its own particular style.
There is a tendency to lump folk music along with tribal music. There is no formal period
of apprenticeship where the student is able to devote their entire life to learning the
music, the economics of rural life does not permit this sort of thing.
Musical instruments are bamboo flute, fire tongs, frame drum, hourglass drum, large
barrel drum, barrel drum, barrel drum, simple lute, jaw harp, kettle drums | | Greek folk music | | Greek folk music includes a variety of styles played by ethnic Greeks in Greece, Cyprus,
the United States and elsewhere. Apart from the common music found all-around Greece,
there are distinct types of folk music, sometimes related to the history or simply the taste
of the specific places. | | American folk music | | American folk music, also known as roots music, is a broad category of music including
Bluegrass, country music, gospel, old time music, jug bands, Appalachian folk, blues,
Cajun and Native American music. The music is considered American either because it is
native to the United States or because it developed there, out of foreign origins, to such a
degree that it struck musicologists as something distinctly new. | | Australian folk musicians | | In the early days of the Australian colonies, convict ballads and songs became the
foundation of Australia's later day folk music and its first original compositions
Convicts were not systematically segregated, by religion or nationality and learned songs
from one another which were then passed on, to survive later, for example, in Irish
enclaves. The fiddle, concertina, banjo, mouth organ, penny whistle and tea chest were popular instruments | | British folk Music | | Electric folk is a genre of music in which British and Celtic traditional music is played in a rock music style.Electric folk derives from Anglo-Celtic traditional music and Rock as specified in the
following list. It should be noted that not all of these features are found in every song
For example, Electric folk groups, while predominantly using traditional material as their
source for lyrics and tunes, occasionally write their own. | | Canadian folk Music | | Canadian folk rock is particularly, although not exclusively, associated with Celtic folk
traditions. Bands such as Figgy Duff, Wonderful Grand Band and Spirit of the West were
early pioneers in the Canadian tradition of Celtic-influenced rock, and were later
followed by acts such as Crash Test Dummies, Great Big Sea, The Mahones, The Dukhs,
Jimmy George, Rawlins Cross, Captain Tractor, Mudmen and Celtae. | | Italian folk Music | | Italian folk music has a deep and complex history. National unification came quite late to
the Italian peninsula, so its many hundreds of separate cultures remained un-
homogenized until quite recently compared to many other European countries. Moreover,
Italian folk music reflects Italy's geographic position at the south of Europe and in the
center of the Mediterranean Sea: Arabic, African, Celtic, Persian, Roma, and Slavic
influences are readily apparent in the musical styles of the Italian regions. | |
