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

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

And 'drug' is Russian for friend, I believe. So it's true that drugs are your friends!! drugs are your friends in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia-Montenegro and Bosnia-Herzegovina too! though we balkanese are incidentaly known throughout Europe as being drug-dealers and criminals... the thing is that the europeans don't know the real meaning of 'drug' tsk tsk... (the pronounciation is droog ;D)

Karelian, Votic, Veps and Võru are langauges closely related to finnish and estonian (ugro-finnish langauges?), though some argue that Võru is just a dialect of estonian... from the few differences between estonian and võru i've seen i think it's a language by itself

Which language is the hardest for you to learn? suomen kieli, but then again it'd be much easier if i could receive a finnish TV programme, it's how i learned german, from the freakin TV hungarian was difficult too (the few times i attended classes) - not similar at all these two... maybe the suffixes, and accent marks allover ;D i hope i'll be able to understand and form basic finnish 'till the year runs out

Native: Portuguese Perfectly fluent: English Good: Spanish and French (I'm now having spanish classes to improve it). I can also understand most italian, specially written. Would like to learn: Geigle, Swedish, Breton, Welsh, Finnish, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Basque... basically every european language... well, maybe not german and dutch, I utterly dislike the way they sound. what's Geigle? the whistling language of the Azores? btw serbo-croatian was an invented language in the former Yugoslavia, a mix of both croatian and serbian, although not phonetically transcribed and in cyrillian (as the serbian)... the two are quite similar, but have their differences that are for the most part quite prominent, esp. if you speak any of them... many words are different, the script is different, though some dialects are more similar to eachother than others dutch? i understand something when i read it, the same goes for slovak, russian, bulgarian, ukrainian and to a far lesser extent czech... polish is beyond me though

HEY, which languages do you speak and which ones are/were you learning or will start to learn (or at least want to learn) + why ;D, besides your native language of course (but write it down nevertheless)
me:
1. native: slovenian 2. foreign: a) good knowledge: english, german, croatian, serbian (with the cyrillic alphabet too) b) poor knowledge: latin, macedonian c) learning at the moment: finnish, spanish d) used to learn: hungarian d) would like to learn in the future: basque, italian, greek, breton
why? italian and hungarian (i had to drop out due to various reasons) 'cos they're neighboring peoples, finnish, basque, breton and greek 'cos they're interesting and i like the lands, spanish 'cos it's a world-tounge and i'd like to go to the south of South America someday (and Spain of course)

Ahaha... maybe "Fiddler`s green" do so... but otherways I´ve never seen someone doing so.... so it`s rather the most STRANGE way to play the violin! i've seen it many times in old archive-films on etno/folk music, and many photos... from northern Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary etc. ... i'll try to find a link somewhere (but be patient )

THE question here is if Napalm Records are after the money (what a naive question ) if i remember correctly, they suggested to Korpiklaani to have a finnish name in the first place, so...
