2. • Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in Southern
United States, in Atlanta, Georgia in the 1920s. It takes its roots from the south-eastern
genre of American folk music and Western music. Country music often
consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies
accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic
guitars, fiddles, and harmonicas.
• The origins of country music are the folk music of mostly white, working-class
Americans, who blended popular songs, Irish and Celtic fiddle tunes, traditional
ballads, and cowboy songs, and various musical traditions from European
immigrant communities.
