Savage Beauty Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 In the "Eurovision 2009" thread we've had alot of discussions on folk / traditional music lately, based on the fact that alot of us love to hear other countries' folk- music rather than just their pop/ rock, which sounds pretty much the same all over the world. So we thought we'd start a thread on folk- music, and give everyone a chance to show off their cultural heritage and teach each other about their country's musical history. Alot of people know some Irish music, Spanish music etc, but not enough and there's SO much music that deserves to be heard and known.. So show us YOUR folk- music! Whether it's in its original wrapping or mixed with modern day rhythm, it shows us a bit of your country, your origins and your culture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beauty Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) I reckon the catalyst for this thread (Alexander Rybak) should start it off: some clips from Norway Alexander Rybak mixing up folk music from Norwegian and Slavic tradition + traditional Norwegian dance; Halling. Fanitullen, one of the oldest traditional folk melodies in Norway Edited May 19, 2009 by Savage Beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keti Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 An interesting thread! Must say though that I'm not a huge fan of the folk music from my country, Serbia, regardless that I'll post some videos to see what you guys think. There's this very very popular TV show in Serbia called "Zvezde Granda" - or "Starts Of Grand". It's something very much like "Idol" or something similar, except it's based on the folk and traditional Serbian music followed by Serbian traditional instruments. Here you can find something more about it. Zvezde Granda - "Stars of Grand" - the official website. Except it's in Serbian. It's mostly turbo-folk actually, it's traditional folk music with dance, hip-hop and pop elements. Some of the greatest Serbian TURBO-folk music stars: Slavica Ćukteraš "Mrgud", Grand Parade 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Zc0CwMaiA&feature=related Seka Aleksić Seka Aleksic-"Aspirin" - Grand parada http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFOxmqNIsFc&feature=related Probably the biggest star ever here Ceca Ražnatović - Lepi Grome Moj http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMcr2SCpac8 Ceca Ražnatović - Manta Manta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say though that I'm not a huge fan of the folk music from my country, Serbia, regardless that I'll post some videos to see what you guys think. Actually,they must hear the REAL traditional Serbian music-the so-called "inn" music.Find something from Toma Zdravković,Snežana Đurišić,Merima Njegomir,Nada Topčagić etc.But especially Toma Zdravković,he's the king of traditional music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say though that I'm not a huge fan of the folk music from my country, Serbia, regardless that I'll post some videos to see what you guys think. Keti, just out of interest, have you ever heard this song? Magdi Ruzsa singing Ederlezi. It is a Serbian-Gipsy type of song that she performed on Hungarian pop idol. First part of the song is sung in Hungarian and the Serbian folk music part comes in after 1:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-H47c3xnZo&feature=related I recommend this to everyone, actually, because of the Balkan brass band in an very easily digestable format.

Savage Beauty Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 Lovely thread!!!! I chose music that comes from Apulia, that's a region in the deepest south of Italy: this music's called "taranta", and the dancers move and jump as they were bit by a "tarantola", that's a a very common spider in those places. Women move in a very hypnotic way! http://www.truveo.com/tarantella-del-gargano-marco-beasley/id/1747174813 http://about.diigo.com/about/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DXc05rcuGkbM&feature%3Ddir I've actually danced that!!

The music seems to be diverse in that region... also, the different dances.. I've actually danced that!! Like on stage in front of loads of people :biggrin2: I used to do some folk dancing, too, when I was little, including an Austrian dance, which reminded me that I should probably post Tyrolean music here as I can't remember anyone posting from Austria(+ there used to be an Austro-Hungarian Monarch once, anyway) ..so, from Austria Tiroler dans / Tyrolean dance with some cool guys:biggrin2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPBmdVtpaQY&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
