Appalachian Music

Appalachian music is a genre of North American folk music that originated in the Appalachian Mountains. It is the traditional music of the region, and is often characterized by its use of old-time instruments, such as the fiddle, banjo, and guitar. Appalachian music has its roots in the traditional music of the British Isles, which was brought to the region by settlers from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It also incorporates elements of African-American music, including the blues and gospel music, and Native American music, such as the use of percussion and flutes. Appalachian music has remained a part of the musical landscape in the region for centuries, and continues to be performed and enjoyed today.
