Mimi & Richard Fariña were an American folk duo who emerged from the Greenwich Village scene in the early 1960s. They were known for their poetic lyrics and harmonies, and were influential in the folk revival movement. In 1965, their sound was still largely rooted in traditional folk, but the emerging sounds of folk rock were beginning to be felt.
