Louis Armstrong famously said that he considered all music Folk Music, music made by Folks "I ain't heard no horses sing"
Folk music is mostly though not exclusively acoustic based. It is related to the traditional music of a country/ region
The Sixties Folk Revival involved the traditional side being revived & also new son gs by acoustic based singer-songwriters
