True American classic.
Isaac Thomas
Wow, I actually wasn't aware of this piece at all, really nice!
Interesting, I don't think I've ever heard any Albanian music before, sounds very eastern in instrument.

That's really quite beautiful, I had no idea Indonesia had such a musical background. Thanks for sharing user
Ian Turner
Yeah, you're welcome OP, I just hope that classical Indonesian music will be popular in the future.
Easton Martin

Nolan Robinson
I understand your feeling completely.
This one makes me laugh considering it's to the same tune as 'God Save the Queen' and was essentially a giant middle finger to Britain.
Ethan Green
God I have no idea what she's saying but her voice is like honey.

This medieval song is not really from my country, but almost (portugueses and galicians are "brothers" and share almost the same language).

Я cлышaл, люди в Poccии знaют тeкcт зa гимн CCCP и нeт зa гимн PФ. Этo пpaвдa или нeт?
Oй тoжe, ты знaeшь ничeгo хopoшиe пecни c бaлaлaйкoй?
That sounds really cool actually, what an odd combination.
Is there an instrumental version of this, or perhaps one without the man singing? I quite enjoy the musical part and the background singers, but I'm not really enjoying his singing.
Blues music is great, not a huge jazz fan but I definitely respect it for it's contribution to music in the USA.

Your language sounds so odd to me, good music though!
Wow. The vocals on that gave me goosebumps man, thanks for sharing that. Is there a historical background for this?
Connor Bell
I absolutely love this type of medieval music, wish I knew where to find more of this type of stuff.
The fusion of the Native and Spanish(I think) sounds very fascinating, the video however would be much better without the odd sound effects lol.
Jason Garcia
>I absolutely love this type of medieval music
Well, this is the unofficial anthem of the Netherlands and Germany.

What shall we drink, Seven days long, What shall we drink, what a thirst
What shall we drink, Seven days long, What shall we drink, what a thirst
there is enough for everyone, so we drink together, open the barrel already, yes we drink together, not alone
there is enough for everyone, so we drink together, open the barrel already, yes we drink together, not alone
then we will work, seven days long, then we will work, for each other
then we will work, seven days long, yes we will work, for each other
then there is work for everyone, so we work together, seven days long, yes we will work together, not alone
then there is work for everyone, so we work together, seven days long, yes we work together, not alone
first we have to fight, no one knows how long, first we have to fight, for our cause
first we have to fight, no one knows how long, first we need to fight, for our cause
for the prosperity of everyone, so we fight together, together we are strong, yes we fight together, not alone
for the prosperity of everyone, so we fight together, together we are strong, yes we fight together, not alone

Without the electrical guitar sound and that's perfect, thanks though!

>Is there a historical background for this?
It's a traditional ballad from the medieval period. Various versions have existed since the early 1500s.
The song itself is about the tragic love between Bendik and the king's daughter, Årolilja(a poetic name meaning something like "the Lily of the Plains"). The king discovers that Bendik has been visiting his daughter, and sentences him to death. Årolilja begs for his life, but Bendik ends up decapitated and Årolilja dies of grief. They're buried on either side of the church, kept apart even in death, but out of their graves grow two lily vines that twine together above the church's steeple to show the purity of their love.
Brody Evans
That's really cool actually, thanks for sharing.
Ian Wood
This song is also a couple centuries old. The lyrics and tune. Although you have a lot of modern variations. Because I guess you have to play it on an accordion.

Everyone who wants to sail the capes have to be men with beards.
[three names] they have beards, they have beards. [three names] they have beards so they sail along.
Everyone who wants to overcome the seas have to be men with beards.
Everyone who isn't afraid to die have to be men with beards.
Everyone who isn't afraid of the devil have to be men with beads.
But you have many more lines that aren't in this version. Like "all who can smother pipes" "all who can eat those disgusting biscuits" "all who can kill whales.." etc
