i know there's a similar thread, but i'd like to know some ETNO/FOLK bands with modern undertones (or vice versa), like folk/etno metal, punk, rock, jazz etc. from the countries you live in... please post their web sites for reference too ;D
here goes Slovenia:
- KATALENA (www.katalena.net) probably the best and most innovative etno/folk band in the country; slovenian etno/folk with rock and jazz thrown in
- ORLEK (www.orlek.org) polkapunk-folkrock is what they call their mix of folksy music and punk/rock
i know there's a shitload of metal bands around here, but to my knowledge none are folk-metal
now, it's your turn... post! post! post! ;D ;D ;D

But it´s only in portugies I think, it is not easy to read! I remember for just one other band from our land, called Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy. It´s something like melancholy moravian folk doom, but I forgot the webside so you must use gooooogle. :-)

still no etno/folk music with "modern" music thrown in (metal, rock, punk, jazz, whatever) from "your" countries (seems to me they own us more than they are ours )...still: Trollech are quite an exceptional (pagan?) black-metal band for nowadays.... cool attitude hahaha, Tuatha de Dannan, aye, it's a funny drink&singalong band well fitted for metal parties, and the guys are crazy enough to invent an 'elfic' ( ) language of their own as well... ;D

From Portugal:
At-Tambur: Great folk band with jazz influences (mainly because it has a jazz-drumer).
Dazkarieh - World music... truly. They play folk music with instruments and influences from the 5 continents. Most versatile band I've ever heard, from celtic to african, to south america to australia... they do it all. They sing both in portuguese (only 3 songs) and in a made-up language by themselves.
Gaiteiros de Lisboa - Very experienced musicians with a very particular take on portuguese folk... they also build and invent some of their instruments. Very strong percussion and bagpipes with traditional portuguese singing.

I cannot say any Spanish band but, have you listened to In Extremo from Germany? One of my favourite bands and they play some songs in medieval Spanish as "Como Poden" or "Santa Maria". Very traditional with bag-pipes, schalms and instruments like that. I could also tell you from Germany Subway To Sally, although I don't find them trully folk (it's more metal) and Corvus Corax, but this ones are just medieval music, not metal at all.

I don't know any spanish folk rock bands but I do knew a few "pure folk" ones... and Galegas too. hehehehe
From Galiza:
Milladoiro - Historical gallician folk band, great musicians with some experimental albums with jazz and synths which, in my opinion, suck ass. They are brilliant though...
Luar na Lubre - Also very professional "celtic music" galician band, centered around the bagpipes and the fiddle. Very good. The female lead-singer (who also plays the cello) is something like 1,90m. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.
Berrogueto - Great also "celtic music".
Asturias:
Llangres - young talented celtic music band, reminds me a bit too much of Irish music... still searching for their identity I guess.
Leon y Castilla:
La Musgaña - BRILLIANT folk band from the heart of spain with some modern (electric bass and keyboards) influences. Very very good.
Pays Basque:
Alboka - Very good music sung in euskarra, even though the singer is Hungarian. nice...
Catalonia:
Ojos de Brujo - Mixes flamenco with urban beats and some eletronics. It's very different... I like it.
That's it...

Yes, great sellection! I haven't said anything about Luar Na because I don't consider it has any metal element and it is what seems to interest more our friend Cez; but if any of you like Celt music, Luar Na Lubre are definitely one of the greatest bands in the whole world; the singer is a usual collaborator on the last Mike Oldfield albums. My sister likes a lot Luar Na, and also Carlos Nuñez, a famous galician piper. About Milladoiro I don't know anything, only that they were the pioneers with Luar Na. The problem in Spanish etno music is that I don't like it at all. I have very much respect to flamenco, but neither I do like it. the rest is the traditional music from each area; you've got "jotas" in Aragón, "Sevillanas" in the ass of Spain, I mean, Andalucia, and so on. I really can't stand for example "Sevillanas" and the music from Andalucia, although I have Andalusian family and love Cadiz and Almeria. But I hate the rest... specially Seville... wish they sunk in their shitfull river, fucking lazy people! Sorry, I've turned out topic

From Finland: - ME NAISET ( www.me-naiset.net/) Seven women, inspired by the rich Finno-Ugric singing tradition, seven vocal instruments mastered by these women, combine their knowledge and their skills in order to make polyphonic vocal music. - POHJANNAULA ( www.pohjannaula.net/) Pohjannaula's music is an interesting combination of rock and Finnish ethnic elements. The strong ethnic flavour originates from the old Finnish mythology, from the epic Kalevala. The lyrics, written by the members of Pohjannaula, combine the traditional inspiration of the nature with the young energy and desire. - PÖMPELI www.pompeli.cjb.netFolk ensemble Pömpeli was founded in Alahärmä 1993. They play traditional folk songs from the Finnish province of Pohjanmaa. Pömpeli is a quite a new band, and all the players are young people. - TARUJEN SAARI ( www.vuorenk.pp.fi/tarujensaari/) Tarujen Saari is a Finnish folkrock group that represents the all-European music tradition. The group trusts in the power of good melodies. They play many old traditional songs which have lived for centuries, but are not very widely known. Songs are collected from the books and old recordings published in England, Scotland, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden - and naturally in Finland. The members of the group translate the lyrics in Finnish and also write their own songs and lyrics close to the style of the old traditional songs. - TSHAKKU ( www.qnet.fi/rus-project/Viking_music.html) The musicgroup Tsakku was formed in 1996, inspired by the Rus-project. The ensemble produces old Finnish folkmusic using replicas of finds of instruments from the Viking age and the early Middle ages. - VÄRTTINÄ www.varttina.comVärttinä's origins go back to 1983 in the village of Rääkkylä, in Karelia, the southeastern region of Finland, as the project of singers and kantele players Sari and Mari Kaasinen. The concept was to form a youth group to recite Karelian poetry, sing and play kantele. Interest and appreciation in the group grew to such a degree that many more youngsters wanted to join, and they did! The result was a group of 21 members, playing and singing traditional Karelian folk song. Later, a common goal emerged: to explore and revive Karelian / Finno-Ugric musical tradition and to discover new, more exciting ways of arranging and performing.

Yeah, of course I know them; they're actually the biggest rock-metal band in spain, but far far away from being the best. Even the bassist lives in my own village. The problem with Mägo is that I don't consider them neither a metal band (I just consider them more hard rock) nor I do consider they have spanish folk touches; they've got celt influences, but I cannot say that celt music is Spanish folk, although it definitely is in Galicia and Asturias... but these are just two of our 17 regions, so cannot speak of celt music as Spanish folk.

Ah, that's an eye-opener I really like 'em though. I've got pretty much every cd they've released. They must be one of my most favorite bands..
