Folkb> music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yet in nations or regions where folkb> music is a badge of cultural or national identity, the loss of folkb> music can be slowed; this is held to be true, for instance in the case of Hungary, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, all of which retain their traditional music to some degree.
Folkb> music is still extremely popular among some audiences today, with folkb> music clubs meeting to share traditional-style songs, and there are major folkb> music festivals in many countries, eg the Port Fairy Folkb> Festival is a major annual event in Australia attracting top international folkb> performers as well as many local artists.
Folkb> music is easily identified with the ordinary working people who created it, and preserving treasured things against the claimed relentless encroachments of capitalism is likewise a goal of many politically progressive people.

Folkb> Process - The Cuisinart Theory

For a starting point, "folkb> process" seems to mean the process by which folkb> music, folkb> tales and folklore generally either come into being or are passed from one person or generation to the next.
So the "folkb> process" would be passing traditional tales and music among the "common people" by ear.
"Folkb> Music" is something related to the North American Folkb> (Music and Dance) Association, which assiduously (and IMHO, wisely) refuses to adopt a definition.
