Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s.

While the Romantic nationalism of the first folk revival had i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
