Vispop

Vispop is a music genre which originated from and became popular in the Scandinavian countries in the mid-1960s.

The term is derived from the word visa which denotes traditional and popular folk song of Sweden.

In Norway the term applied to this type of accompanied singing is visesang.

Vispop is typically performed by a singer-songwriter playing an acoustic guitar, and the lyrics often expresses social commentary.

The genre could be compared to American folk rock or bluegrass.
