FAQ About The Cultural Impact of Folk Instrument Preservation

Globalization can have both positive and negative impacts on folk instrument preservation. On one hand, it enhances exposure, allowing folk traditions to reach international audiences and fostering cross-cultural appreciation and understanding. This exposure can lead to increased interest and investment in preserving these traditions.

On the other hand, globalization can contribute to cultural homogenization, where dominant global cultural trends overshadow local traditions, leading to a decline in the practice and transmission of indigenous music and cultural expressions. Balancing these dynamics is crucial for the sustainable preservation of folk instruments while embracing global connectivity.
