Collecting Traditional Music From Around The World - tje1 - 12-08-2011

Whoa, awesome! Even more bands to check out.

I've been sampling the mentioned bands that Tiggi and Steve recommended. They are all great, and I really enjoy Toumani Diabate, Kathryn Tickell, Buena Vista Social Club and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan especially. They all have a great 'organic' sound that I feel really represents the flavour of their homelands.

When I get home I'll be sure to check out the other artists that have been posted as well. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions!

^ Good advice. Spanish music from a band that are/were actually French, but of Spanish romany descent...

hehe i wasn't aware of that, i've always assumed they were spanish because of their musical style.
