folk harmony singing

Folk harmony singing is a group singing style where multiple voices perform different melodic lines simultaneously, creating a rich, layered sound. It often involves simple, repeated melodies and harmonies passed down through tradition, reflecting cultural or community identity. Participants typically sing in close, natural coordination, emphasizing collective expression rather than individual virtuosity. The result is a warm, resonant sound that enhances storytelling and community bonding, commonly found in rural or traditional music settings across various cultures.
