Obviously music that shares the characteristics of folk music(however you personally define it) will have been around for ever.(unless you define it as singer-songwriter stuff with steelstrung guitars, in which case the answer is fairly recently) But if the question is, how long has music actually been called folk music. then surely the answer is 19th century Germany, when the term was coined. Or so I have been led to believe. |
