folk music collectives

Folk music collectives are groups of artists who collaborate to preserve, perform, and promote traditional or grassroots music. They often share resources, skills, and repertories to sustain cultural heritage and foster community engagement. These collectives can be informal or organized entities that support diverse expression, encourage innovation within tradition, and create opportunities for performances, recordings, and education. By working together, members amplify their collective voice, help sustain folk traditions, and connect with wider audiences, all while emphasizing authenticity, cultural continuity, and social connection.
