^ Welcome to MB, Inkdaub! It's good to know that this thread is still being examined. It is, after all, a great resource: if anything, it's a victim of it's own success - the good recommendations get lost among so many other good recommendations.

Last night for instance I was listening to rostasi's Onipa clips and Psy-Fi's Afro-Haitian Experimental Orchestra which are both excellent. Then in response to windsock's enthusiasm for Celtic music I thought I'd pull up some old Celtic recs that are buried somewhere in this thread. In the end, the closest I got was a clip of an Ezza Rose song, although this morning I can't find that original posting again either.

Anyway, here's the song:-

[Psy-Fi]

An old favorite of mine. The debut album by double bassist and oud player Ahmed Abdul-Malik, released in 1958.

[Psy-Fi]

The second album by "Bixiga 70" from São Paulo, Brazil. Released in 2013.

^ That's a really nice album, Psy-Fi. Thanks.

Here's a track I have on a compilation cd called Trip Do Brazil 2, but it's not in the same league as your rec I'm afraid.

Sommer Im Pfirsichhain
Album by Brannten Schnüre

https://aguirrerecords.bandcamp.com/...m-pfirsichhain

Brannten Schnüre is an experimental dark folk group out of Würzburg, Germany. Christian Schoppik composed and played all the music, Katie Rich whispers, recites and sings. Together they make astoundingly beautiful folk with a rich instrumentation leaning towards the atonal spectrum. Instrumental wanderings stand alongside Nico-esque poetry tales. Christian plays the accordeon and in some songs guitar and flute. Inspired by hierophants like Nový Svět and David Jackman, solemn song fragments (a lot of old greek rembetiko-recordings) are modified and looped, with additional instruments and voices being integrated later on. His music has been described as “surreal folkcollage” and “german hauntology”.

Flute Trance - Loli Cosmica

[Sir_Cactoos]

Hello folks! Let me tonight introduce some less known stuff from Poland, which I hope would catch your attention: Ols. As official YouTube channel describes:

Ols is a one-woman project, entirely created by the author, who composes, arranges, writes lyrics, sings and plays instruments.The easiest way to describe Ols’ songs would be to call it a neofolk, but in the compositions and arrangements many elements of ambient or alternative music could also be found. Even some very distant echoes of atmospheric black metal appear there, which makes its particular genre difficult to define.

Hope you'll enjoy to listen to her second newly released album "Mszarna".
