民歌( FOLK) 原本是指每个民族的传统歌曲,每个民族的先民都有他们自原始/古代已有的歌曲,这些歌绝大部分都不知道谁是作者,而以口头传播,一传十十传百,一代传一代的传下去至今。不过今天我们所说的民歌( FOLK),大都是指流行曲年代的民歌( FOLK),所指的是主要以木结他为伴奏乐器,以自然坦率方式歌唱,唱出大家纯朴生活感受的那种歌曲。美国民歌手 WOODY GUTHRIE在五十年代的唱片可说是最早的民歌唱片录音,所以普遍被认定是现代民歌( FOLK)的祖师。之後 PETE SEEGER、 THE WEAVERS继续推动这类音乐,六十年代越战,反战民歌手如 BOB DYLAN、JOAN BAEZ、PETER、PAUL AND MARY等成为时代的呼声。後民歌向 POP、ROCK及都市化发展, BOB DYLAN发明了 FOLKROCK、 SIMON & GARFUNKEL发展出中产口味的都市 FOLK POP,风行一时。八十年代 SUZANNE VEGA、TRACYCHAPMAN等走出一种更富现在都市感觉的 URBAN FOLK(城市)/ CONTEMPORARY(当代) FOLK路线。民歌 (FOLK)在英国、香港等乐坛也发展出不同的面貌。民歌(FOLK)近年较新的发展是与 NEW AGE结合(如 ENYA),及与 TRIP HOP结合)如 BETH ORTON.
