Polka, baby, Polka. I Don’t Want Her You Can Have Her She’s Too Fat For Me. The Beer Barrel Polka. God, I hope I never hear another Polka in my life. I grew up with that crap. (Rural Nebraska)
I am Welsh, and Male Voice Choirs are always revered.. Here is “Myfanwy” by the Treorchy MVC, which is the last scene from the film “Twin Town”, also described as the “Welsh Trainspotting”.
Spain has a strong Flamenco tradition… it’s like the Spanish equivalent of the Blues… lotsa passion and pain, tears, laughter, roots… pretty amazing when you see it live, raw emotion etc
here are a couple of legends… Camaron de la Isla and Paco de Lucia…
and this fella was recently brought to my attention… El Cabrero… …this guy’s a bit more ‘hardcore’… more political rather than the usual romanticisms
Authentic traditional music for Australia would be the sounds created by the original indigenous land owners using instruments such as the didgeridoo, rasp’s, rattles and clap sticks…
traditional aussie music for me growing up though was more like this…lol
and this
I’m from what is called Redneck Country. Most people listen to this new C&W which is more like country rock if you ask my opinion. There’s actually some of it that I enjoy even though I’m mainly an old school rocker.
Midlands, Rock, Black Sabatth, and my home town Heavy Metal. Tamworth is home of Wolfsbane and Bob Cattley oy of Magnum.
i’m irish too, and traditional for me would be:
the dubliners
the furey’s
dublin city ramblers
de dennan
rock and roll and country, USA
I’m from Ireland too.
Here’s one of my favourite traditional songs:
The Auld Triangle – Luke Kelly
I wish i had someone to love me , Johnny McEvoy
Finnegan’s Wake , Christy Moore, ( It’s the Irish in me )
