Описание: How Did Narrative Songs Shape The Folk Music Revival? Have you ever wondered how storytelling through music influenced a major cultural movement? In this video, we explore how narrative songs played a vital role during the folk music revival of the 1960s. We’ll begin by explaining what narrative songs are and how they serve as powerful tools for sharing stories, emotions, and social messages.

We’ll discuss how artists like Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and others used storytelling to highlight issues such as social injustice, workers’ rights, peace, and equality.
