Summary/Abstract: Rock and roll (including pop-rock) and neo-folk are two the most dominant popular music genres of this region in the last half century. Five decades of living together have brought the different relationships between them and the different perceptions of these relationships. Unfortunately reflection of ideological discourse dominated in relation to objective and professional research and monitoring of the evolution of both genres, which would necessarily include the analysis of cross-overing, lending and other forms of proliferation that certainly marked their evolution. This kind of topic deserves serious monographic study. But since there are no neither sketches of this process, we intend to offer in the form of article one such analysis, to demonstrate how this proliferation flowed and led to a convergence of some of the main trends within both genres. The author first displays tradition of integrating of folk elements in domestic rock and roll, and then presents the evolution of neo-folk toward modern expressions which includes many loans from the Rock and Roll.
