American Folk Revival

The American Folk Revival is a genre of music that emerged in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. It is a revival of traditional folk music, which had been largely forgotten in the years following World War II. The genre is characterized by its use of acoustic instruments, traditional melodies, and often politically charged lyrics. It is often associated with the protest songs of the civil rights movement, as well as the work of artists such as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan. The genre has had a lasting influence on popular music, and continues to be an important part of the American musical landscape.
