folklore revival movements

Folklore revival movements are efforts to rediscover, preserve, and promote traditional cultural expressions such as music, dance, stories, and customs that might have been fading or overlooked. These movements often arise as communities or scholars recognize the cultural value of their heritage and seek to reconnect with their roots. They can involve organizing festivals, collecting oral histories, or teaching traditional skills. By doing so, they help maintain cultural diversity, foster community identity, and ensure that important cultural practices are passed on to future generations.
