Folk Music: A Very Short Introduction explores a remarkably diverse musical genre. It considers folk musical traditions from across the globe, everything from music to accompany a Russian wedding near the Arctic Circle, to a group song in a small rainforest village in Brazil, and an Uzbek dance tune in Afghanistan.

Musical notation and lyrics are included throughout.
