Telugu folk music, deeply rooted in the cultural and societal tapestry of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, is a vibrant and evocative genre characterized by its rustic melodies, poignant lyrics, and rhythmic beats. Traditionally performed during festivals, weddings, and community gatherings, this genre often centers around themes of rural life, love, labor, and local deities. Artists like Manukota Prasad and Mounika Yadav bring life to traditional instruments such as the dappu and kommu, enriching the genre's authenticity. Combining elements of storytelling and social commentary, Telugu folk music remains a powerful medium of expression and cultural preservation.
