I feel a bit like Teo here - but then again, we don't have real Dutch instruments that I'm aware of (and that could be useful in prog).

Oddly enough, Italian prog folk bands tend to incorporate elements of other traditions more than local ones - obviously with some notable exceptions, like Seventies bands Canzoniere del Lazio and Carnascialia. The most evident influence on Italian prog, however (like someone else already said), is opera, as proved by the 'theatrical' style favoured by many RPI singers.

Including the likes of the singer of Pennelli di Vermeer and Il Bacio Della Medusa - and of course the well known 'oldies-but-proggies'

In my country, Hawaii, and if you don't think Hawaii is another country seperate from the U.S., come live out here and may I say, I would love to be there when you tell  that to the locals.Ouch OUCH... In any case in my country, there is no  "Local" rock, no roll, there is no Jazz no Prog no nothing but  the mindless pulsating rhytms of Hawaii's own "Jah-Waiian" scene( A : tropical "blend" of rap and Reggae,usually rapped in Pidgin English or some Polynesian language and with all due respect to Bob Marley, Rap and Reggae are two of the most nauseating forms of music to these ears) Traditonal Hawaiian music is quite nice and enjoyable with Slack Key guitar playing being a popular export of Hawaii and some reason I cannot hear slack key or traditional Hawaii folk ever being blended together with rock to form or create good prog... Some flavors were never meant to blend....

Isn't traditional Hawaiian music where slide guitar comes from? If that's the case, you guys have had quite the influence upon rock music...

Not sure about that.  I've always had the impression that blues slide and hawaiian slide developed seperately.  You never know though.

Im from the US but of hispanic descent. The Mars Volta is mostly comprised of people of Hispanic countries or descent like me. Their musci is heavily influenced by thier hispanic roots. 

Am example of this can be easily heard in "Day of the Baphomets" on thier Amputechture album. The song just stops and has an almost island feel to it. This might be because the guitarist is from Puerto Rico.

Senni Eskelinen & Stringpurée band base their music on kantele - Finland's national instrument. Apart from that, I can't think of anything. To me, there are artists that sound distinctively Finnish (Pekka Pohjola, Uzva etc.), but if you'd ask me to explain my stance, I'm not sure I could give you a satisfying answer - you just feel it.

Well, the one I'm living in at the moment? We invented prog rock baby

As for my ancestors' country... Well, we have quite a fair bit of prog metal. And Chopin. They're both good

Moonsorrow also use the kantele on their Verisäkeet album :) Beautiful instrument!
