Most people in the world experience folk songs from the moment they go into the globe as lullabies their mothers sing to them to soothe, comfort and lull them to sleep. These lullabies were possibly sung to these mothers by their very own mothers and so on, into the distant past. Medina You And I is an example of a modern folk song with a touch of mellow and dramatic sense.

The main characteristic of this kind of music is it is an oral tradition, a tradition shared among someone having a common culture and history, and occupying a specific region. Music scores are generally absent, yet variation is kept low. You sing and play it as you heard it.
