im not sure what constitutes as folk, and im supposed to sing something in that genre.are there any popular songs that constitute as folk?
folk by definition is the traditional and typically anonymous music that is an expression of the life of people in a community.
If your fan of led zeppelin they play some folk such as;
Tangerine, going to California, and ramble on.
So ye just wondering the title says it all really!
Thanks in advance!
Really, I dunno what you mean by "folk music," but I’ll give you some good artists for Japanese music in general.
The artists are all available on iTunes.
A’sh Doll, GO!GO!7188, L’arc~En~Ciel (I know it doesn’t sound Japanese, but they’re a popular Jpop band)
Effectively discuss the cultural, political and economic effects Jazz, Blues and Folk music had on American society in the 1920s and 1930s. Be sure to include a thorough discussion of the cultural history of the times and how each form of music dramatically shifted the social, political and economic landscapes of American History.
-we are to write a 3-5 page analysias, and i seriously know nothing about the topic, so if you guys can give me a hand that would be great!
-THANK YOU!
You might be able to cherry pick a bit of background by visiting the Blues and Jazz pages of my web site. Follow the links.
I read that plants very much enjoy music and that it’ll help them grow more quickly. As far as I know, most red vegetables prefer classical music, but I cannot listen to it all the time.
If I play folk music for a change, do you think they will mind?
It won’t make a bit of difference what kind of music you play… plants can’t hear. Some years ago, talking to your plants became all the rage. What you said didn’t matter either. The thing that helped the plants in this case was that humans breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is good for the plants. Though I doubt that the amount they would get from a short convo with you could matter all that much.
Stuff like Johnny Flynn and Noah and the Whale.
Very gingerly lol ?
As a folk musician, I wish to promote and develop English folk music. So much of our early English folk music is vanishing in today’s Britain. I am playing at an event later this year called "The Red, White and Blue" and I want to obtain lyrics and music of old English folk music. Please advise.
Thanks

Other than the fact that it’s Peruvian…
And what are the main musical elements of Peruvian music?
It’s a mix of Spanish and indigenous people (inca). Flutes and guitars.
I have to do this music project and I can’t find the difference between Chinese folk and traditional Chinese music.
What do you mean you can’t find it? You have to listen to it.
I’m not sure exactly what kind of music you mean, If by traditional you mean beijing opera and folk means Tibetan, then there is a huge difference. The instruments you can tell are different, the vocals. Don’t look up explanations, listen and hear it for yourself.
Preferably on CD because then I can carry it around on my ipod… but I mean like really old stuff. Any musicians you can recommend?
The US Library of Congress has collected literally thousands of those songs. There are records out there, but I don’t know their names. I would start with a web search of the Library.
Oh, and the Carter Family got most of their songs from there.
Folk music can have a number of different meanings, but most commonly refers to Traditional music. The original meaning of the term "folk music" was synonymous with the term "Traditional music", also often including World Music and Roots music; the term "Traditional music" was given its more specific meaning to distinguish it from the other definitions that "Folk music" is now considered to encompass.
