we don't have banjos

>>70158405
That sounds pretty bluesey though

>>70158445
I haven't listened to it all yet, but I was thinking the same.
>>70158422
Can you name some? I know a couple folk metal bands from there, but no folk folk.

Am I really gonna have to ask /pol/?

Check out Jaakko Martikainen.

>>70159328
My boy! Thank you. This is merry. Looking down on the based accordion was the gayest thing classical music has ever done.
>>70159401
I thought this was boring, but maybe it wouldn't be if I could understand it. Does he have songs that are in English or more instrumentally involved?

>>70158229
this is pretty good stuff from Bavaria

One of my favorites is Pernille Anker, a Norwegian I've been shilling like crazy on here.

Glassy, otherworldly voice that conjures misty Tolkienian peaks while still sounding intensely human and emotional.

I can't watch that video in the US, but I listened to another song by them and it was pretty cool. The horn playing is pretty crazy.

I don't know if I really have it in me to enjoy unaccompanied vocal music I can't understand. All it's really giving me is continuous monophonic melodies and it's hard for me to value that, although I didn't find the melodies very compelling for the most part.
Do you know about the hardanger fiddle? Christcucks thought it was demonic for a long time. I'd like to get into some music featuring it.

Finland does not speak a germanic language.

>>70160817
Not really my thing. Thanks for posting it anyway though.
>>70160947
Yeah, I'm not sure what the crossed pattern is supposed to represent, maybe that there are Swedish speakers in Finland? Some parts of Finland's coast are dark blue though so I'm not sure. There's a criss cross between east and west scandinavia, so maybe it's representing E.Scandinavian influence in the Finnish language.

>>70158229
>upper german
>is actually at the bottom of germany
>low german
>is actually at the top of germany
what did germanics mean by this?

>>70161226
The "top" of Germany would be the part with the highest elevation. Let me guess, you were "only pretending to be retarded."

>Christcucks
Hmm, I wonder where this thread is going

>>70158229
the banjo doesn't make a whit of difference when playing an air except in that they add a bit of bass.

take for example the famous traditionalist Irish folk group Planxty:

Are you perhaps butthurt that the banjo is a part African instrument?

>>70158229
Forget that. Listen to Rus Alexander Borodin. He wrote kick ass orchestrated folk melodies with weird flatted fifth/sharpened 6th harmony.

>>70161746
Asgard via Constantinople ;))))
>>70161801
The banjo being African is the reason I'm specifically excluding it, yeah. I know the Dubliners have a banjo guy too. It seems to be pretty popular. What I'm looking for is representations of a continuous european culture without foreign novelties like banjo, because I want to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of the music of the peoples I am specifically descended from and those closely related to them (like the Hungarians for example, who have dank ass music). I write non-folk music myself as well, and am interested in incorporating it to continue that tradition, perhaps in a less multicultural, but still progressive and individualistic way, like playing folk music on synths with a different style. I'm into bluegrass, so I'm not some kind of anti-banjo zealot or anything, and I'm not against listening to those irish bands. Im looking for what I'm looking for right now for the reasons I just laid out though.
I'll still listen to that when I get a chance. I'm at work now though.
>>70161841
I'll look into it. That sounds maybe cool.

>>70162731
>a continuous european culture
dude your at least 100 years late to be a misguided romantic

>>70162757
Did european culture stop? What are you even trying to imply with this vague shit?

>>70162849
>Did european culture stop?
what did he mean by this

>>70162883
He (you?) called my use of the phrase "continuous european culture" "misguided romanticism", so asked him if it stopped. As far as I'm aware, European culture(s) comes from the past and continues into the future. Some people think being dismissive makes them look smart.

>>70163175
>comes from the past and continues into the future
yeah we have a group of isolated folk musicians in natural reserves so they won't be influenced by american music lmao at your life

>>70163627
Some people think being condescending makes them seem smart too. Pay attention kids. This is how not to argue.

>>70163795
Some people think pointing out things that don't make you smart without saying anything smart yourself makes them seem smart too. Pay attention kids. This is how not to argue.

>>70163838
I'm not trying to seem smart. I'm trying to get music recommendations and defend myself from accusations of hating banjos ;).

too much talk, too little music, so ill post some mostly traditional folk from my country Hungary

Damn, thank you. I love all the Hungarian music I've heard and the first two of these are no exception. The fiddles always have such a harsh tone I wouldn't expect people to really like it, although I'm into harsh tones in general.
