Folk music is both a product and component of folk life. Folk music is essentially the home-made music of the individual who is at the same time fully incorporated into a group. That is why the music of the individual becomes that of the group and vice versa. Folk music also contains many strata and many types of creators and carriers. The classical musicians of India tend to shun folk music: training in classical music starts by shunning out all that has been musically meaningful in the initiate's experience.
