Radio Folclore

Radio Folclore broadcasts both Portugal and international music that varies too from genre to genre. Although their main genre of choice is Pop and Rock but they dont have any problem playing songs from genres like hip hop, urban, r n b etc. Radio Folclore main vision is to play what their listeners will listen or if saying the other way what their listeners would like to listen. As Portugal has its own beautiful tradition of music and culture Radio Folclore most of the time tries to play songs and arrange programs thats gonna represent its own tradition of music and culture.

Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Some types of folk music are also called world music.

Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted orally, or as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.
