XIX CENTURY
Folk music existed in various forms
from the medieval times right through until the industrialisation of the society
during the 19th and 20th centuries. The folk style usually involved a combination
of song and dance.

an expression of joviality and joy. However, The Beatles revealed an entirely new
perspective on musical entertainment in this year. This 60’s band was the most
popular of its time. Charts over and over again. Their songs were catchy, displayed excellent musical
abilities and sometimes broke the bounds of conservatism. Indeed, J. Lennon,
