I searched for a topic about country/ethno/folk music, and couldn't find any, so I decided to start one. And who to begin with regarding the folk music if not the Irish. One of the best songs ever in my opinion. The Johnstons, and The Lambs On The Green Hills.

Wow, beautiful and talented.
I dare to say the most beautiful vocal of today.

Pokarekare Ana - a traditional Māori song from New Zealand.

Hayley Westenra - Pokarekare Ana (English Subtitles)...

Morning Has Broken - a traditional Scottish melody, with lyrics by English author Eleanor Farjeon.

Don't know much about this song, but I think it's cute. :wink:

Some interesting history/origins.
Thanks for the video. And is there any German influence on the American folk music? Germans were the predominant people in the beginning?

Johann Strauss Jr. - "Serbian Quadrille", Оp. 14

Johann Strauss jr. - Serbian Quadrille, Оp. 14

Many famous Serbs of that time lived in the capital of Austria, and the ruler of Serbia, Prince Miloš Obrenović (1780-1860), wanted to gather them at an annual ceremony. For this occasion, he commissioned a composition from the composer Johann Strauss the Younger, and so his composition called "Serbian Quadrille" was presented at the first Serbian "Saint Sava Ball" in Vienna in 1846. The composition was largely influenced by the Serbian folklore. I wish people still dance this kind of dances.

The second ethnicity name on the list just says "American."

Yeah, I found that rather weird.
Are we to assume that Blacks don't consider themselves Americans?
I don't see it broken down by race, or it would just say whites.

I don't know, it seems to me, we're all Americans.
