Scott Johnson - "John Somebody" Part 3: Involuntary Songs
Making music from human speech, or in this case, laughter

These guys are really one of the top proponents of modern trad Quebecois music - really good stuff:
Le Vent du Nord (North Wind) - Les Amants du Saint Laurent

These guys have some incredible energy, especially on the second tune - Session A9

Blowzabella - The New Jigs

The band make an inimitable, driving, drone-based sound played with a fabulous sense of melody, rhythmic expertise and sheer feeling.
They compose their own music which is influenced by English and European traditional dance music. Many of their tunes have become “standards” in the modern folk repertoire and are played by people all over the world. Bands across Europe who experiment with folk music often cite Blowzabella as a major influence. -- Blowzabella.com

Mariza - O Gente da Minha Terra (the people of my land) (live)

This is a nice, if a bit overdone, sample of Fado music, which is what's going on in my avatar.
Check out the headstock (from the back) on the Portuguese guitar around 3:50... and again 5:45 (frontal shot)...

OOOHHH, how moving, Pogo. Before she became emotional, I was thinking how she was singing her feelings...:) Thank you so much for bringing this music to my soul. :)

Comment from a listener: Ana does such a great job with this song, as do the outstanding musicians accompanying her! I have several of her CDs, but this particular performance of hers is by far my favorite. She doesn't try to be cutesy about anything, she just sings it straight from the heart with the sincere emotion it deserves.

:thup:

Up On a Hill, As the Day Dissolves
With My Pencil Turning Moments Into Line
High Above in the Violet Sky
A Silent Silver Plane - It Draws a Golden Chain


One By One, All the Stars Appear
As the Great Winds of the Planet Spiral In
Spinning Away, Like the Night Sky At Arles
In the Million Insect Storm, the Constellations Form


On a Hill, Under a Raven Sky
I Have no Idea Exactly What I've Drawn
Some Kind of Change, Some Kind of Spinning Away
With Every Single Line Moving Further Out in Time


And Now As the Pale Moon Rides (In the Stars)
Her Form in My Pale Blue Lines (In the Stars)
And There, As the World Rolls Round (In the Stars)
I Draw, But the Lines Move Round (In the Stars)
There, As the Great Wheels Blaze (In the Stars)
I Draw, But My Drawing Fades (In the Stars)
And Now, As the Old Sun Dies (In the Stars)
I Draw, and the Four Winds Sigh (In the Stars)​

Marisa Monte/Tribalistas - Pecado e Lhe Deixar de Molho

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4nbr7pXv7Q"]
watch
[/ame]

Pecado é Lhe Deixar de Molho

Falados os segredos calam
E as ondas devoram léguas
Vou lhe botar num altar
Na certeza de não apressar o mundo
Não vou divulgar
Só do meu coração para o seu

Pecado é lhe deixar de molho
E isso lhe deixa louco
Não, eu não vou me zangar
Eu não vou lhe xingar
Lhe mandar embora
Eu vou me curvar
Ao tamanho desse amor
Só o amor sabe os seus

Não, eu não vou me vingar
Se você fez questão
De vagar o mundo
Não vou descuidar
Vou lembrar como é bom
E ao amor me render


It's a Sin to Leave You Idle

The secrets are spoken while shut
And the waves devour miles
I'm placing you on an altar
Being sure it wouldn't make the world spin faster
I won't make a big deal of it
Only from my heart to yours

It's a sin to leave you idle
And this makes you crazy
No, I won't be angry
I won't curse you
Ask you to leave
I will bend
Before the immensity of this love
Only love knows who its owners are

No, I won't have my revenge
If you really wanted to
Wander around the world
I won't be careless
I'll remember how nice it is
And to love I'll surrender
