Hurdy-Gurdy is a traditional folk music genre that originated in France in the Middle Ages. It is characterized by a unique sound created by a mechanical instrument called the hurdy-gurdy. The instrument is a stringed instrument that is played by turning a crank which causes a wheel to rotate against the strings, producing a buzzing sound. The music is usually played in a fast tempo and often features a drone-like accompaniment. It is often accompanied by singing and dancing.
