There is a tendency to lump folk music along with tribal music. There is actually a difference.

Thanks Sonya. Actually I was thinking on similar lines as mentioned in this piece. Is any song sung in husky voice a folk song? Does reference to states make it a folk song? I am still confused.

Indian folk music

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Indian folk music is diverse because of India's vast cultural diversity. It has many forms including bhangra, lavani, dandiya and Rajasthani. The arrival of movies and pop music weakened folk music's popularity, but cheaply recordable music has made it easier to find and helped revive the traditions. Folk music (desi) has been influential on classical music, which is viewed as a higher art form. Instruments and styles have impacted classical ragas. It is also not uncommon for major writers, saints and poets to have large musical libraries and traditions to their name, often sung in thumri (semi-classical) style. Most of the folk music of India is dance-oriented.]]

I thought Amit's was. Then again I am not sure. But UP-Bihar lootna is a folk? It is a nautanki song. Nimbooda is a folk? Not sure.

Sony celebrates Valentine's day in July so whatever they decide is the theme😆

Nimbooda is a very popular Rajasthani song. I think Illaji also mentioned it in the show 😊

Thanks again Sonya. I actually read some more about folk in the library today.

I have no problem with any number of 07s criticizing me😉. Go ahead. I didn't know that I needed to take your permission before writing on the forum😆.

BTW I have established that making reference to states doesn't qualify as a folk song. 😛

Sonya posted a link to the original song from which Nimbooda was inspired. Thanks.

Again a Folk songs theme this season but how many were actual folk songs?
