World Folk and MoreI put world music and stuff I couldn't classify elsewhere on this page. These artists add the spice and texture that makes Festival Radio worth listening to for hours upon end. Afro Celt Sound System: Mixing Celtic, African, and techno into a remarkable musical mélange. Afro Cuban All-Stars: Some old guys, some young guys, together making great Cuban music. Baka Beyond: Martin Craddick combines with natives of the Baka tribe for some remarkable Afro-Celtic ambient folk. Blind Boys of Alabama: Still going strong after 60+ years of remarkable gospel music. Brave Combo: So many polkas, so little time. Ashley Maher: Canadian-born singer/songwriter now residing in Los Angeles who studied African music in London with the guys from Afro Celt Sound System and others. Imagine Joni Mitchell singing a groovilicious blend of singer/songwriter folk, Afropop, jazz, and Latin with top-notch production. Yeah, it's that cool. Raul Malo: Former lead singer for country band The Mavericks, now exploring his Cuban roots with an impressive country/latin fusion. Lynn Marie: She plays accordion. She's been nominated for a Grammy. She's from Cleveland. She's been called "The Dixie Chick of Polka" by Jay Leno. She's got it going on. Those Darn Accordions: This group really has to be seen to be believed. Really. They're an accordion band. They're coming to your town. They'll help you polka down. Throat Culture: Columbus, Ohio acapella vocal group. Yat-Kha: Tuvan group combining throat singing with modern instruments. |
