It's Fedor Chistyakov's band "Zero." They've put out a lot of stuff since the mid-80s in their home country.

Thanks rostasi! Extraordinary, as always, the breadth of your knowledge about music.

^ That's a beautiful track!
SM has a great voice and an impressive history; escaping from Algeria when she was branded a trouble-maker, singing in Paris before landing a UK record contract. In the space of a few years, she went from receiving death-threats in Algeria to being head-hunted in Europe, so if they ever make a film of her life, it should be pretty dramatic.
(I have a cd of her stuff, but unfortunately I don't have the tracklist or sources for it, otherwise I'd post a follow-up recommendation; she has lots of good songs.)

I'd recommend "Deb" & "Mesk Elil" from her.
You can get a video thru Wrasse Records,
but it's solely an acoustic affair if you find that kind
of thing interesting. Wrasse, by the way, is a label
you may want to pursue/peruse for more goodies.

now playing:

Mahanojaus Lietuviška Mainerių Orkestra - Storo Yono

A band of Lithuanian coal-miners.

Thanks for the recommendations. If I ever have the patience, I might cross-check them against the tracks I already have.

If I had to chose an obscure talent, I might go for Aynur Kalay. She sings traditional Kasakh folk songs with a strong voice; doesn't have a page on Wikipedia, but has quite a few clips on Youtube. They all have an exotic but cheesy look, as if she's about to be photographed for a 1950s edition of National Geographic.

Lithuanian coal miners? Say no more!!

The last several videos posted are all new to me.

I don't have many to offer today, but here is a folksy TV On The Radio cover:


I'm also fond of Bulgarian music lately:

Great mix of tuvan music and a bit of blues. Sainkho of course rocks as always.

Okay, so I'm having trouble finding folk recs on the internet that aren't infested with folk rock and indie folk, so if I just wanted a top 10 of folk albums to check out for a beginner then what should I listen to? I'm cool with folk rock albums being included, but **** off with indie folk.

  1. Various ‎– Mountain Music Of Kentucky
  2. Mississippi John Hurt ‎– Avalon Blues: The Complete 1928 Okeh Recordings (Country Blues, Folk, etc. etc.)
  3. Roscoe Holcomb‎ – The High Lonesome Sound
  4. Erik Darling ‎– Instrumental Music And Songs Of The Southern Appalachians
  5. The Kingston Trio ‎– The Kingston Trio
  6. Patrick Sky ‎– Patrick Sky
  7. The Byrds ‎– ‎The Byrds Play Dylan
  8. Leo Kottke ‎– Six n Twelve String (Primitive American instrumental)
  9. Sibylle Baier - Color Green
  10. Kate Wolf ‎– Close to You

I chose "The Byrds Play Dylan" to kill two birds with one stone (no pun intended) I wanted to combine two recs into one. Roscoe Holcomb‎ is on the Mountain Music of Kentucky, still I wanted to give him another mention cause he was an influence on Bob Dylan. I no idea how popular or not Pratick Sky, Sibylle Baier and Kate Wolf are. They appeal to my quiet and retiring side.
