Russian folk

Russian folk music, a form of Eastern Slavic folk music, deals with the traditions of ethnic Russian people. It features various song types, including ceremonial songs, wedding songs, laments, lullabies, and dancing music, with vocal music prevailing over instrumental. Traditional instruments include the gudok, gusli, dudka, zhaleika, pan flute, tambourine, balalaika, and accordion. In the late 19th century, Russian folk music gained prominence through folkloric ensembles and movements led by figures like Mitrofan Pyatnitsky and Vasily Andreyev.
