The Roots of American Folk Music

The roots of American folk music can be traced back to the British Isles, where it was brought by immigrants in the 17th and 18th centuries. These immigrants brought with them their own songs and dances, which they passed down to their children and grandchildren. Over time, these songs and dances evolved into new forms, influenced by the new environment and the experiences of the people who sang them.
