Indian Music- 3



INDIAN FOLK MUSIC  

Indian folk music is diverse because of India's vast cultural diversity. It has many forms including bhangra, lavani, dandiyaand 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 sangeet) has been influential on classical music, which is viewed as a higher art form. Instruments and styles have influenced classical ragas. It is 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.
