folk music revival
Traditional songs reborn
A folk music revival is a period when traditional or acoustic music experiences renewed popular interest, often accompanied by political or cultural movements.
The term usually refers to the American and British revivals of the mid-20th century, which brought artists like Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan to prominence and connected folk music to civil rights and antiwar activism.
