The Rustic Voice & The Lofty Soul
Folk music tells the story of humanity. Stories that carry the essence of personhood in a way that gives a voice to the voiceless, power to the weak, and hope to the disillusioned. It dives into the details, weaving tapestries of provenance, culture, history, society, emotions, and ideas.
With minimalistic and bare instrumentals, it gave artists a platform to showcase their uncensored spirit, raw thoughts, and incredible ideas. Folk has a lofty soul, all encompassing and egalitarian in ways that mysteriously united the masses and made them think about the roots of humanity and what we stand for.
From the folk revival of the 1960s, led by icons like Bob Dylan, Nick Drake, and Joan Baez, to modern interpretations by artists like Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver, folk music continues to evolve. Its stripped-back, soulful sound remains a platform for expressing personal and cultural stories, resonating across generations and borders.
