^ Well, that is some severely de-constructed cumbia rostasi! It certainly doesn't resemble the cumbia that is a radio staple here in Mexico.

Warsaw Village Band (the one I showed you a while back) is the last one I found that I truly loved.
And sadly it seems a lot of freak folk veers a bit too close to forgettable coffee shop background music.

^ HaHa! That is a great description! The difficulty is finding anything, though.
Petula07, who used to post here ages ago, strongly recommended the band Altan Urag from Mongolia, and in return I recommended Andrey Vinogradov to her. I hope one of them kicks you in the gut, Chiomara - in the nicest possible way of course.

P.S. Yes, surely there is some angry freak-folk genius who does more with the genre than play coffee-shop background music, or horror-movie soundtrack music, which is what it makes me think of usually. Perhaps I'll check out some more Fursaxa as Frownland speaks highly of them.
