Anyone knows of good bands performing traditionnal or ''actualized'' traditional music?
Here are a few I like:
Tri Yann: band from Brittany (Bretagne, in France) been in the buisness since the late 60's. Their early recordings were more straight traditionnal, and later they diversified and experimented with actual instruments without loosing their traditional style. Songs range from centuries old traditional song from all over the world (they even did some old Irish and Scottish songs) to original compositions. In french, Breton, and rarely, in english.
Ad Vielle Que Pourra: From Montreal, Canada, even tho half the band is actually from europe. They do traditional musicc in the purest style without modern influences and instruments. Their material is also completely original! In French and Breton.
Flogging Molly: From L.A., their style is what could be called... er... Traditionnal Irish Punk! Very traditional composing, with violins and all like you expect, the whole `punk-tuated` with electric guitars in a mix that would get your 77 years old grandma to dance as if she were 20 again! In english obviously :|
I know there are millions of those out there... maybe someone could open me good eye on some more?
