Traditional music is an umbrella term used in the mid–20th century by folklorists and ethnomusicologists to denote community-rooted, orally transmitted repertoires tied to social ritual, work, celebration, and storytelling.

Folk is a song-centered acoustic tradition rooted in community storytelling, everyday life, and social history. It emphasizes clear melodies, simple harmonies, and lyrics that foreground narrative, protest, and personal testimony.

Cantabrian folk music is the traditional music of Cantabria, a mountainous coastal region in northern Spain. It is shaped by rural life in valleys such as Liébana, Campoo, and the Valles Pasiegos, and by seafaring towns on the Bay of Biscay.
