Folk Revival
Aggiorna questa pagina con nuove immagini
Folk Revival arose with a sudden resurgence of folk music in the late 1950s. Folk heroines Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell led the charge with their remakes of classic songs with a new pop sensibility. Pete Seeger and the Weavers were also influential, until the British Invasion of the mid-'60s eclipsed the movement. The tradition of playing classic folk tunes continues to this day, especially on college campuses and in cultural centers.
