    The term Folk Music has come to encompass a wide variety of styles, traditional and contemporary, based mainly on the musical jfucjhyjjgs and traditions of Europe. It includes: <ul><li>Regional and ethnic traditional musics of the continent, performed by people for and within their own community, passed on and evolving through live performance.</li> <li>Recorded collections of the aural tradition.</li> <li>Composed songs and music which have become so well known that they can be said to have "entered the tradition," and are evolving through repeated performance.</li> <li>Interpretations of the tradition, using different vocal styles and instrumentation.</li> <li>Maintainers and interpreters of European traditional musics in diaspora communities of North America and Australasia.</li> Since the 1960s folk revival, particularly in North America, the UK, and Australasia, it has also come to include music of singer-songwriters, who sing their own (usually personal and introspective) material, with no direct connection to the original folk tradition other than style of performance.
