Folk Music

How come there is a "country and bluegrass" forum but no folk music forum?

Anyway right now I am mad in love with the second song on this page:

The one called Setnala se kuzum Stana.

What do other people think.
They also do another really good song (not on that page but on last.fm if you use that) called Marijo, cero Marijo.

I know Balkan music is uberfashionable right now, but that doesn't stop it being beautiful.

I really love English and Scandinavian folk music; so beautiful.

English I like. Norwegian too. But Swedish is kind of lame

Oddly enough Swedish folk is my favourite of the Scandinavian folk music! :-D

Maybe you could recommend something to change my view!

I love the Swedisg ballad 'Töres dotter i Wänge' (which one of my favourite Ingmar Bergman films is based on - 'Jungfrukällan') and they may be ''old'' but I have a fondness for a Swedish sixties folk/rock and roll band called the Hootenany Singers. YouTube - Där skall jag bo (Hootenanny Singers - featuring Björn)

I wish there was a folk section also. I'm a big fan of American, Irish and Russian folk music. I grew up playing folk music from the Ozarks, but I love the more minor sounds in Irish and Russian folk.
