The epithet 'Folia' has several meanings in music. There is for instance a folk tune with the name "Folía" at the Canary Islands and a 'Folia de Reis' in Brazil is sung during a celebration brought to Brazil by African slaves in the 18th century and runs from December 24 to January 6. In western-classical music there is an 'early Folia', which can take different shapes, and the better-known 'later Folia', which has been famous in serious music to the present day. This 'later Folia' is a standard chord progression (iVi-VII / III-VII-[i or VI]-V / iVi-VII / III-VII-[i or VI7]-IV[4-3sus]-i) with a standard melody line in the theme.
