Ethnic Music

[Lilitu]

Sometimes I get bored and listen to international ethnic music all day. Sometimes it's popular music in a specific language but often I try to find traditional music.

Put all the ethnic things in this thread. ALL of the ethnic things.

Recent finds:

How are there not more replies to this thread?! I absolutely love all kinds of culture- I was actually going to major in cultural anthropology in school. This might be my favorite thread. Just you wait- when I hit 50 posts and am allowed to post videos, I'm gonna fill this thread up! I actually run a tumblr account where I post movie trailers and songs from around the world.

You know what's entertaining? Russian pop! Dima Bilan and Nyusha are my favorite!
