folk music has been passed down for hundred years.At first it was never written down people learnt the songs from their families ,relatives ,neighbors and friends in the same village.These songs were about country life,the seasons,animals and plants,and about love and sadness in people's lives
Early performers of music were popular.They used to learn hundreds of songs by heart.this was at a time when there was no radio,TV or cinema.many of the country people could neither read nor write.In this way,stories were passed on from one person to another
