Разнотравiе (Raznotravie) - Каторга (Katorga) (2001 Russia) @320

It is not to easy to find here in the most western part of Germany good Russian folk music, which is one of the reasons why I am very happy to got in touch with Mitya Kouznetsov of the Russian group Raznotravie. Raznotravie blends Russian folk music with influences of world music, ancient music, avantgarde and much more. The group was founded in 1997; almost all members have remained in the band since then. In 2000 multiinstrumentalist and folk musician Mitya Kouznetsov joined them. Together they found a new sound which is presented on this album.
Raznotravie come from Rybinsk in the Yaroslavl region in Russia. The group consist of seven members: Mikhail Posadsky (vocal, jaw harp, folk-whistle), he writes most of the songs; Vyacheslav Kamenkov (acoustic guitar, domra, backing vocal) arranges a lot and also writes songs; Anna Kouznetsova (Kholodyakova) (hurdy-gurdy, backing vocal, folk winds, percussion); Mitya Kouznetsov (vocal, svirel [russian whistle], jaleika [russian reedpipe], flute, gusli [russian psaltery], mandolin, jaw harp, folk percussion) is the producer, composer and sound engenieer; Alexandra Nikitina (chello); Valery Ershov (acoustic bass-guitar, backing vocal) and finally Pavel Davydovich on drums and percussion.
I like their music a lot, it is unconventional and fresh, with a lot of variations. A great album; hopefully we will have the chance to see them live soon!

Great band from Petrozavodsk, Karelia

In the earlier days the people were wandering over unknown lands in search of better destiny. Their songs travelled together them. Settling in a new place they enriched the local singing traditions. The idea of some kind of spiritual travelling, of mutual integration of different musical cultures is in the basic of the first album titled "Strange People".

Maïka will take you into the very rich universe of Greek music.

From the southern islands to the mountains of northern Thrace, the group composes and rearranges traditional tunes from a country at the crossroads of multiple civilizations.

The sensitivity of lead and polyphonic singing, the subtle timbre of Persian and oriental percussions, the madness of the violin and the trance of the Algerian mondole, the Cretan Laouto and the Turkish saz meet and transport this music to other rhythmic horizons (India, Iran, France, Maghreb ...).

By constantly flirting with the codes of Eastern and more Western music, Maïka reclaims this repertoire and navigates the listener on many shores from the Ionian Sea to the Black Sea via the Aegean Sea.

 Since 2013, Benoît Roblin, Julien Evain and Thomas Badeau have been sharing their music with tremendous envy and generosity.Without a priori, the musical universe that is built in the trio draws as much from the archives, the collections, as from all the music to which the three accomplices have access.This energetic music arouses the interest of both music lovers and dance addicts.

This is one of the most original ballroom trios of the moment!It brings together Thomas Badeau, clarinetist from Sketch and the collective "Jeu à la Nantaise", Benoît Roblin, vielliste du Berry, and Julien Evain, accordionist from Vendée.The repertoire alternates the dances of the three regions.The sound is unprecedented: a clarinet that leads the dance and improvises, an old electro both melodic and percussive, an accordion ensuring harmony and bass playing.Subtle and energetic!

TREES debut album originally released in 1970 blending heavy folk and psychedelic
influences . After being unable to put their second album "On The Shore" down, I had to get the debut release which is also very solid. Once again traditional and original folk pieces are arranged and delivered with a mix of soft / tranquil folk shades juztaposed with heavy acid laced psychedelic freak outs... simply amazing. 
Throughout we are treated to the great voice of Celia Humphris who adds some folk-opera to the album. I highly recommend this album to those who are willing to open their ears to some pretty ground breaking and thought provoking music.

Luar na Lubre - Torre De Breoghán (2014 Spain - Galicia) @320

The Milésians route

As if it were a wonderful archaeological discovery, the folk group Luar na Lubre rescues an epic account of Celtic culture to shape a show where music and visual effects merge into a special alchemy. ‘Torre de Breoghán’ will be an unprecedented musical event, an orchestrated version of the best of the Galician band, with the Galician Symphony Orchestra as a luxury accompanist.

The story he tells is inspired by the book Leabhar Ghabhala Eirean (Libro das Invasiones), an exceptional document collected from the Irish oral tradition and transcribed by the Christian monks of this island in the 11th century. In it, the different invasions that happened in Ireland are recounted in chronological order. The last of them is that of the Milesios, who from the city of Brigantia (now A Coruña) left for the island after Ith, son of the Breoghán leader and leader Milesio, discovered it after seeing it from a bird's-eye view from the tower that it takes the name of its father, to Thor Breoghán, that could be the known at the moment like Tower of Hercules.

Warriors, ships, druids, spells ... Torre de Breoghán will be a unique and overwhelming experience, a mythical journey for any lover of music and culture. Luar na Lubre embarks on a new adventure in its constant commitment to placing folk music at the forefront of the contemporary music scene.

Liguriani - Suoni dai Mondi Liguri [2011 Italy] @320

Rugged country, eclectic music.
A Strip of mixed people and sounds, Liguria lies in Italy’s north-west, a region squeezed between rugged hill tops and sea waves, stretching from the French Riviera to Tuscany, bordering Piedmont and Emilia. Ligurianl is a five member outfit from Genoa and Savona comprised of voice, flute, musette (bagpipes), melodeon, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and piano, and they are among the most renowned contributors to the Italian folk scene. They play with passion and vitality, with a fairly eclectic repertoire that matches the spirit of the land and its people. Accordingly, Liguriani display a wide assortment of influences, ranging from local traditions to traditional Italian folk and political ballads, with Irish flavours and hints of 
bal musette and classical music.

The lyrics are in both standard Italian and Ligurian dialects. The opener, “Stamattina Si Va All'assalto” a traditional World War I song, is given a sure-footed execution that showcases the energetic guitar of Claudio De Angeli, with sparks of Filippo Gambettas melodeon. ‘Boghe’ is a sprightly tune by flautist Michel Balatti, dedicated to a tasty, though underappreciated fish found in the Ligurian sea. Further standouts include dances of the four provinces in the Appennines, and “Perigurdino di Paganini” revealing the illustrious violinist'.s interest in folk dances.

Further ettective numbers include “Sutta a Chi Tucca/Severino” and a dramatic song
about the steamship Sirius wreck, incorporating a stirring instrumental theme. The brilliant piper Rinaudo penned the two tunes “Valse du Driveur/Jolanda”: the first arranged in manouche style, the second showing the groups subtle intcrweaving. The accomplished musicianship makes for a truly enjoyable CD.


01 - Stamattina si va all'assalto - Boghe
02 - Alessandrina in Re - Monferrine
03 - Calissun - Piva di San Dalmazio
04 - Dieci anni e più d'amore - La freccia del Turchino
05 - Sutta a chi tucca - Severino
06 - O Pandoce (Mauro Pirovano legge la poesia di Martin Piaggio)
07 - Perigordino di Paganini - Giga di Gilli
08 - Il tragico naufragio del vapore Sirio - Verso la luce
09 - Valse du Driveur - Jolanda
10 - O Gorizia tu sei maledetta - U garollu
11 - Tiribi taraba - A figgia de Pariggi

Uaragniaun - Skuarrajazz [2000 Italy] @320

The fourth album for UARAGNIAUN, a key group in the research and rediscovery of Southern Italian folk music. Continuing on the path which began with Canzoni dell’Alta Murgia (1990), followed by Uailì (1990) and Octofolium (1998) Maria Moramarco, Luigi Bolognese and Silvio Teot have enlisted a wide range of esteemed collaborators for this latest chapter in their personal reinterpretation of the folk music of Puglia and in particular of the Murge region, a geographical area with peculiar ethnic characteristics and a unique vocal style. And it is of course the magnificent voice of Maria Moramarco, with her profound knowledge of the local repertoire, which provides the guiding thread along which the pieces on the album are strung: songs about the trials of daily life, the rites and social occasions typical of the peasant world, work songs and religious songs, lyrics and narratives, lullabies and dirges.
The consistently high standard of Skuarrajazz is testament on the one hand, to the depth of 
fieldwork carried out by the interpreters, and on the other to their musical excellence in 
performing and reinterpreting a traditional folk repertoire with a contemporary sensibility 
that nonetheless does not compromise its spirit or dilute it by mixing in other musical 
styles and genres. The album springs from the direct and close contact that the members of the group have with their community, and the freshness of the music presented allows the listener to put themselves in touch with a bygone peasant culture which is still rich with surprises. In Skuarrajazz they can enjoy typical narrative songs such as Brunette which recounts the story of a girl forced into a reparatory marriage, Pugliese tarantellas the likes of of O re re, or the ditties of Murgia represented here by Quande jè belle.
If with Skuarrajazz UARAGNIAUN demonstrate exceptional rigour in their reworkings of traditional folk music, they also reveal themselves to be an extremely ‘open’ group, who feel the need to seek out and work with other musicians on the same wavelength. The artists assembled on this occasion show a remarkable unity of purpose and a common sensibility that makes Skuarrajazz, despite its multiform elements, a truly solid and cohesive work.

Following a season of smouldering live shows across the UK and Europe, acclaimed Anglo-
French acoustic dance band Topette!! have been back in the studio to record a much-waited second CD Rhododendron.
Capturing the atmosphere and spirit of those live shows, the new album resonates with the
wild energy of packed dancefloors, firing the five players’ imaginations and galvanising their playing. Rhododendron is a bold and exciting album, infused with good-time feeling, pulsing drive and joy...

“Rhododendron is one of those rare instrumental – and dance-oriented – albums which gives virtually equal proportions of cerebral and visceral pleasure. Seriously recommended.”
David Kidman, Folk Radio UK.

Flook - Ancora (Ireland & England 2019) @320

After a gap of fourteen years and due to overwhelming popular demand, legendary folk band Flook present 'Ancora', their brand new album. Despite the recording hiatus between their third studio album and 'Ancora', in recent years Flook have played occasional live shows, including short tours of Ireland, Japan and Germany as well as festival shows, and they will undertake a 17-date tour of England and Wales in April and May 2019.

With the flutes and whistles of Brian Finnegan and Sarah Allen, the guitar of Ed Boyd and the bodhran of John Joe Kelly, the iconic Flook weaves and spins traditionally rooted tunes into an enthralling sound – with agile but tight rhythms and virtuoso improvisation. Flook possesses a rare blend of fiery technical brilliance, delicate ensemble interaction and a bold, adventurous musical imagination.

Formed over 20 years ago by four friends, Flook burst onto the international music scene with their debut studio album 'Flatfish'. The band had a remarkably successful performing and recording career - the sheer enjoyment of playing together shone through their albums.

As Brian Finnegan says 'The imagery associated with the meaning of 'Ancora' is abundant indeed. It is the Latin word for anchor, be that to the seabed or in the kith and kin of our lives. It also means 'hope' and 'again'. The great Italian master Michelangelo was attributed as saying 'Ancora Impara' on his 87th birthday, meaning 'I am ever learning'. This resonated in us and was present throughout the process of recording Ancora'. So, deeper in we go. Thanks for listening.'

Having won 'Best Band' at BBC Folk Awards 2006, there is no shortage of virtuosity amongst the members of Flook, but the unique impact of this sensational Anglo-Irish group stems from the wholly intuitive, almost symbiotic, exchange between the various flutes, frets and skins. 'Ancora' marks a return after too long away, but also a continuation.

Now, for a number of objective reasons, most musicians do not have the opportunity to perform publicly. And everyone knows that the main source of income for many musicians is concerts and master classes. So now is the time to support your favorite artists. There are different ways to do this. For example, buying CDs or digital content. Also, Facebook hosts quite a lot of video broadcasts of live performances by various musicians. You can enjoy your favorite music and support your favorite musicians financially at will and to the best of your ability. Let's help each other. Follow the necessary security measures, do not panic, take care of yourself and your loved ones. Listen to music and dance. And everything will be fine.
Always Yours, 
the Folk Yourself team.

"It's been several years since Perrine Vrignault, singer and accordionist, explores the traditional poitevin song with a disconcerting freshness.
For this brand new quartet of music to dance, she calls on three musicians as free and adventurous as she.

The "two Maxime", Dancre and Barbeau, offer formidable hypnotic rhythmic paths. As for Thomas Fossaert, he makes the saxophone improvising pilot fish. The continuous breath becomes lyricism, participating in this great collective trance.

It is a ball that sticks to the body for the happiness of all, and as we are obliged to nothing, can also listen with eyes closed "
