Folkhop is a genre of music that came about after the death of Bhangra in the mid 1990s. It is diametrically opposed toBhangra music in that it is not a live music but instead relies on pre recorded musical parts with only the vocals being sung live along to a live repetitive dhol drum. The pre recorded music consists of primarily looped rhythm parts from both eastern and western percussion instruments and little to no melody on instruments.
