Abstract:

Traditional music, which includes ballads, gospel music, and string-bands, is music that is not only shaped by a community, but also varies from place to place. String-band music, played on the fiddle, banjo, guitar, and other stringed instruments, is one of North Carolina's best-known music styles. Through CDs and the Internet, traditional music has gained a wider audience of listeners.
