Hello friends, I would like to know the exactly meaning of the answer in this sentence:
' -"What kind of music is folk music?"
I told him it was HANDED DOWN SONGS'

Thanks in advance,
Jo.

Handed down means given or passed from one generation to the succeeding generation:  from grandparent to parents to children to grandchildren, etc.
