Folklore, whose word was coined in 1846 by W.J. Thomas, indicates the historical and comparative study of tradition and popular art; Folklore, which in its most intimate and true essence is popular culture, history and art together crystallized in popular forms and customs, represents a moment not at all secondary in the artistic and cultural activity of the people. The ethnic characteristics, the traditional peculiarities, the customs, the sources of the origins of popular inspiration are the base of folklore and folk groups that represent and hand it down.
