, Question 1
1.1.



In the contemporary world of technology, folksongs and praise poems are often
considered old-fashioned and outdated. However, this perspective overlooks the
enduring cultural significance and relevance of these traditional art forms. Folksongs
and praise poems serve as valuable repositories of cultural heritage, preserving the
history, values, and identity of communities around the world.



Firstly, folksongs and praise poems are integral components of oral traditions, offering
insights into the collective experiences and perspectives of a society. For example, in
many indigenous cultures, folksongs are used to recount tales of heroism, love, and
resilience, transmitting cultural knowledge from one generation to the next. These
songs provide a window into the cultural values and beliefs of a community, fostering
a sense of connection and belonging among its members.



Furthermore, folksongs and praise poems play a vital role in cultural expression and
resistance. In regions experiencing social or political upheaval, such as during apartheid
in South Africa or the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, folksongs served as
powerful tools of protest and solidarity. Artists like Miriam Makeba and Bob Dylan
used their music to advocate for social justice and inspire change, demonstrating the
enduring relevance of these art forms in addressing contemporary issues.



Moreover, folksongs and praise poems offer unique aesthetic experiences that cannot
be replicated by modern technology. The rhythmic cadence of traditional drumming,
the harmonious melodies of folk tunes, and the evocative imagery of oral poetry engage
the senses and stimulate the imagination in ways that digital media cannot replicate.
These art forms provide opportunities for communal participation and creative
expression, fostering social cohesion and emotional resonance within communities.
