Thông tin: The definition provided by the International Folk Music Council states that folk music is the music of ordinary people, which is passed on from person to person by being listened to rather than learned from the printed page. Other factors that help shape a folk song include: continuity (many performances over a number of years): variation (changes in words and melodies either through artistic interpretation or failure of memory); and selection (the acceptance of a song by the community in which it evolves).
Tạm dịch: Hội đồng Âm nhạc Dân gian Quốc tế đưa ra định nghĩa rằng âm nhạc dân gian là âm nhạc của những người bình thường, được truyền từ người này sang người khác bằng cách nghe chứ không phải học từ sách vở. Các yếu tố khác giúp hình thành một bài hát dân gian bao gồm: tính liên tục (nhiều buổi biểu diễn trong nhiều năm); biến thể (thay đổi trong lời và giai điệu hoặc thông qua diễn giải nghệ thuật hoặc nhớ không đúng); và lựa chọn (sự chấp nhận một bài hát của cộng đồng nơi nó phát triển).
