„Folk” music accompanied by orchestra appeared in the 60s and barely has anything to do with traditional folk music.

Folk music can be traditional music even if accompanied by rubber bands across a plate.

I still think there is.

Here is some Serbian music recorded in the late 20's (so no orchestra from the 60's )
