You may turn on the CD player or the radio when you want to hear music—but once, in the days before modern technology, music was enjoyed whenever groups of people got together. You probably know some folk songs, a song that was passed along from person to person. Learn about:

  • types of folk songs
  • folk instruments
  • folk music's European and African roots
  • Cajun music
  • the music of Appalachia
  • Hispanic music
  • today's folk music.

    Modern music—Rock, Country, R&B, and more—is rooted deep in North America's musical folklore. And folk music is still alive and well today.
