Vallfärd och Viljevandring
by Huldreslåt
Argentinians playing Nordic folk music, and they're incredible. The style here seems to blur the lines between Nordic folk and Irish trad.

SitarCraft
by Ro Panuganti, Game Raga
supported by 7 fans who also own “This Is Kind of Awkward”
The effort and affection are palpable in this album. It was undoubtedly an exploratory, illustrative and extremely personal experience for Ro. It's also a milestone in the VGM community, which transcends the misrepresentation of a culture, and addresses it in a respectful and syncretistic manner. Whether you are a fan of metal or folk music, you will find a true gem here.
