Let me flip the switch, so to speak, and get serious.

If I was asked which type of music I liked best-music that was accompanied by electric instruments or music that was not, I probably choose electrically accompanied music, since that is the music I'm most familiar with. But I'm glad that there are recordings & live performances of traditional music {that is to say, non-electrically accompanied folk music} from my heritages that I can enjoy and learn from, and that there also are recordings and live performances of music from my heritages that are performed with electrical instruments as accompaniment.

For instance, I love the accapella performances of Sweet Honey In The Rock, and The Fairfield Four. Here's a link to a video of the Fairfield Four singing with no accompaniment but their foot stomps, hand claps, and body slaps {pattin juba}:

West African music is also part of my traditional folk music heritage. I love being able to learn about traditional African music, singing and dancing through videos such as this one:

And I love the sound of this electified balafon {the zylophone} and other electric instruments & singing in this now classic video:

[As extra added treat, check out the comments for a discussion about original music, music evolving to new forms, and the pros & cons of "sampling" musician's music, in particular R&B singer Michael Jackson taking parts of Soul Makossa for his "Wanna Be Startin Somethin'" hit record, as well as other recording artist sampling this record}.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all good, and I'm thankful that I don't have to make an absolute choice between one form of music making and another.
