Hi, and welcome to poll No. -46 2/3. The theme this time is folk music.

Now obviously this is a very wide term and can mean many different things. But many types of music have inspiration from some sort of folk music. Here, for example, the impact of Indonesian folk music:



I decided to make the theme wide as well. Your song or piece has to be either folk music of some sorts, or just contain folk elements in one way or another. There are many options: for instance regional folk music traditions from all corners of the world, modern folk music, the American folk tradition (like, say, Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger) jazz/folk, folk rock, folktronica, and so on.

Voting will start in approximately a week. As usually, you are free to post several tracks, but please don't overdo it, and of course in the end you should nominate one track.

Great!

Can we participate with a fantastical folk song? If yes, my nomination is this. I didn't think on this even for a minute!

Edit: I changed my idea.



Edit: I might nominate this one too. Some early feedback would be good! (This is the first time I'm undecided about my nomination, as far as remember.)

Edit: ExclamationThis is my nomination. 

Obsrucus Orbis - Kost Ar C'hoat

Is it folk as in acoustic song or is it folk as in folklore related music?

It could be either :)

There wasn't much folk music in the potest poll anyway, so that's why I decided to go with it.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

(Need to finish with the other poll first... too much work at the moment.)

I have to post this one to start off.  I've posted from this band before, but I think they are excellent and woefully ignored, one of my favorites.  

The Low Anthem - "Charlie Darwin"



I'll do some more later.

I would like to second the question of if any listed in PA disqualify?

I'd say PA artists are OK, but please don't pick too well-known artists. So no Jethro Tull f.e.

  Thanks, no, was going to use a lesser-known one.

OK then, I have SO much I could put up, but think it's better to save some for repeat themes, just in case.  So my theme here will be other-than-English-language (with a small exception, for part of the first is in English) folk tunes.

The first up is someone I brought forward before, Connie Dover.  Here, she sings, "Siuil A Ruin,"  in both English and the chorus is sung in Gaelic.  

Next up will be Faun, who are in Prog Archives, the most reviews any of their releases have gotten is 13, so I think they're lesser-known enough to enter.  They are listed as Prog/Folk and are from Germany. 

Last is a song from Galicia with the wonderful Milladoiro performing it, "Estrelina Do Lucero"  They are one of the premiere Galician musical acts.

It seems there's a big interest in Italy in international folk music. I've heard and partly seen live a number of Italian musicians "researching" such music and collaborating with musicians who are at home in such music. Here's my first discovery of this kind, a southern Italian international project playing Balkanese and Romani music with some modern jazz and rock thrown in. I find them stunning. Opa Cupa - Pompei

Solarference are the only band I ever proposed successfully for PA inclusion. I don't think that up to now this has boosted their popularity much though. So I can use them here (I'm actually not 100% sure whether I already have in an earlier poll, but anyway...) I know them because their singer Sarah was a vocals teacher of a friend of mine. Their "laptop folk" is something that I'd call truly original. Here's Cold Blows the Wind.

I was waiting to see if PA entries were allowed to post this one.  When Amazing Blondel was at their best, they were so very good.  Here is one of my favorites from them.

The Amazing Blondel - "Seascapes"



_________

Although they are considered a Progressive Electronic band in the Archives, Fovea Hex always has that folk sound to me, just using non-traditional instruments.  

Fovea Hex - "You Were There"



____________


And I know this is my fourth entry, but I have so many I could put here.  I have posted this band in the past also, but I just can't let this poll go by without posting this song that sounds like their voices are echoing though the mountains.

Fleet Foxes - "Ragged Wood"

My first contribution is by the Swedish folk trio Väsen. They are using the Swedish folk tradition, but bringing their own touch to it. The instruments are guitar, a 5 string viola (not violin) and nyckelharpa - a traditional Swedish instrument. The track, if I remember correctly, is composed by the guitarist. It translates into "the old IPA man".
