Contemporary Folk GroupContemporary folk music is a genre that emerged in the mid-20th century, evolving from traditional folk music during a period known as the second folk revival, particularly prominent in the 1960s. Centered mainly in the United States and characterized by acoustic instrumentation, it features influential artists such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez, who blended traditional styles with contemporary themes, often addressing social and political issues. Over the decades, contemporary folk has diversified into various subgenres and fusion styles, maintaining its relevance through notable singer-songwriters and performers into the present day.
