The Italian prog band AKTUALA should be moved from Prog-Folk to Indo-Prog/Raga-Rock. The play a kind of World music/ethnic prog, with influences of Mediterranean, African and Middle Mastern folklore. They have many exotic instruments:
-Walter Maioli / arabic oboe, bamboo flute, bass flute, piccolo, metalflute in C, harmonica, reeds, whistles, djembe, percussion;
- Daniele Cavallanti / soprano sax, tenor sax, clarin; - Antonio Cerantola / 6 stings acoustic guitar, 12 stings acoustic guitar, balalaika, zither, dulcimer, viola, violin; - Lino "Capra" Vaccina / maroccan bongos, koborņ, african drums, tabla, gong, xilophone, whistles, cymbals, musical bow, marimba, percussion; - Laura Maioli / tambura, percussion, whistles;  http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=6960 - Aktuala (Studio Album, 1973)  http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=6961 - La Terra (Studio Album, 1974)  http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=6962 - Tappeto Volante (Studio Album, 1976) What do you think???

Having only heard their debut I think they could be moved to indo prog, but I personally don't mind where they are right now.

I think you have a point there. It does seem to sit well in the suggested genre.
As Philippe is in charge of that genre, he should have a say in this. ------------- http://hangingsounds.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - Hanging Sounds http://www.progarchives.com/ProgRockShopping.asp" rel="nofollow - PA Index of prog music vendors |

| I think this is a very valid point. I have their first two albums and would definitely these would fit snuggly under the Indo-Prog/Raga-Rock categorization. |
