    Is it just me, or does this Sephardic ditty sound uncannily like Gaelic folk at points?

    I didn't feel the impulse to hurl myself out of a 1st floor window which is normally my first thought when hearing anything remotely folk or Gaelic.
    Why be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

    A million miles away from it - try this for a more informed reflection on Gaelic Folk, Choral and Group music......

    I should have said Celtic rock. The language clearly wasn't Gaelic, and for the most part it was obviously flamenco. There were times that it reminded me of some Clannad and Michael McGoldrick pieces.

    Interesting comment Julia, it makes me wonder just what you consider is folk music?

    Quite possibly similar musical backgrounds have led popular world music to have similarities. Everything merges at Womad, that sort of thing.
