Folk song

A folk song is a type of traditional music passed orally across generations, often reflecting the culture, history, and everyday life of a community. It typically features simple melodies and lyrics that tell stories, express emotions, or convey shared values. Folk songs can serve as a way to preserve cultural heritage, celebrate important events, or address social issues. They are usually performed with acoustic instruments and remain closely connected to the experiences of ordinary people, making them a vital part of cultural identity and collective memory.
