After this discussion I think the demand for holidays with a pick-up and beer on dusty roads will increase.

The Waifs (originally styled as The WAiFS) are an Australian folk rock band formed in 1992 by sisters Vikki Thorn (harmonica, guitar, vocals) and Donna Simpson (guitar, vocals) as well as Josh Cunningham (guitar, vocals). Their tour and recording band includes Ben Franz (bass), David Ross Macdonald (drums) and Tony Bourke (keyboard / piano).
20 years can either feel like yesterday or an entire lifetime ago but in terms of music, time is irrelevant and The Waifs and their nostalgia-inducing music are a testament to that.

I really like this--exotic and "accesible" at the same time.

Of all the Dalom Kids songs I have heard Ndilambile is my favourite one, and the more I listen to it, the more I like it. There are more nice songs of the group out there, but in my opinion, to put it into one sentence, there are others too which lack the South African (o.k. I have never been to South Africa) vibe Ndilambile has.

For nearly 3,000 years, the city of Naples, Italy has been a bustling urban cultural center, a natural crucible for the arts and sounds of the western world. Ars Nova Napoli, a sextet of buskers playing strings, percussion, and accordion, distills Napoli's rich historical tradition into uniquely exciting modern performance.
Since its inception, the sextet headed by singer Marcello Squillante has committed itself to exploring the most diverse genres of southern Italy – from the pizzica of Apulia via the serenades of Sicily to the Calabrian tarantella. They readily listen to the traditional singing of the local people and how they handle their instruments at first hand.
