History of Alberta's Folk Music festival:
Originally it all started in 20 century when the trend of folk music events came into place, which helps to preserve culture and tradition. People who love to listen to tune started showing up at these
concerts, and that’s how it all started. In 1960 folk art experienced a resurgence experienced to the popularity of two famous artists named bob and Joan Baez. Alberta initially didn’t have English folk
singing; it only had singing made by aboriginal people, also called aboriginal singing. Aboriginal people living in North America use the drums to play folk singing, not much of a voice. Nowadays, Alberta folk singing
is rich in different genres like jazz, pop, rock, classical, and blues.
