Summary/Abstract: The music folklore of Cieszyn Silesia, including the Silesian Beskid at the same time, has specific features both in a musicological and anthropological layer. Modern interpretations of the folk music function on the surface of folklorism (regional bands: Koniaków, Istebna, Wałasi, Jetelinka) and folk (Folkoperacja, Free Village and others) nowadays. A characteristic location (close to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Moravia though not only) facilitates official, but also social contacts which, in turn, make the popularization of the folklore music repertoire easier. An access to varied source music allows for new interpretations of the authentic music (folk combined with other music genres such as pop, rock, jazz, etc).
