Just started listening to this anthology series that I found on Spotify yesterday. 13 volumes from different regions, six of which are from the US.
Nathan White
Does anyone have any records from this series?

Some stuff on SLSK. but well, it's SLSK. So slow, so low quality. Found a few more, but they're encoded really stupidly, with either a full side of the LP as one track, or split into like five or six tracks encompassing multiple actual tracks. Can't have that in my library.
Cameron Price
why no irish stuff?
Christian Rivera
It's on there...
There was a discussion last thread about whether or not solo fiddle from Donegal was a good choice or not, and the other person (from Ireland) suggested either ensemble stuff or Sean-nós. I looked around a bit and found an album which is likely much more representative of Ireland as a whole, and I'd like some input from people more experienced if it's a good choice or not for an update. Pic related.
A record of nothing but Sean-nós I just, personally and subjective, find too boring and likely wouldn't attract a lot of people to Irish traditional music, but I could be wrong. I also feel like that's not what most people would think of when they hear the words "Irish traditional music", even though it definitely is.
David Davis
Fuck off Hampus, this is just randomly picked stuff by specific groups in areas with way larger and diverse traditional cultures
Elijah Hall
Of course it's specific groups in areas with way larger and diverse traditional cultures. There's literally no way to fit every culture's musical heritage in a representative way into a chart like this. If you have input on how to improve it, I'd love to hear it.
Grayson Price
Almost finished the first volume of this, and it's definitely leaning more towards what I guess most would call "world" music, rather than traditional music. That is, music played on contemporary instruments, modern folk music and more popular music. Still a good listen, but not necessarily super relevant from a traditional perspective.
Sebastian Mitchell
Does your archive uploads contain music from the Philippines?
Colton Robinson
All uploads are tagged with country, so it's easy to check for yourself! But no, not at the moment. I could upload what I have from the Philippines, though.
Mason Stewart
Oh, i assumed Philippine music was in the SEA zip. I'd appreciate it if you uploaded it to the archive tho. :3
Dominic Reyes
Nothing on that record from the Philippines unfortunately, but yeah stay tuned and I'll have two records up.
Alexander Wilson
Thank you
Alexander Diaz
I'm looking for samoan choral music recordings like the ones used in the movie "Moana with sound" (a re-edit of flaherty's classic by his daughter who taveled back there and recorded a soundtrack to the original silent film)
John Brown
They're up
Ethan Watson
I haven't seen the film, but the JVC series Music of Polynesia has some songs that are similar to what's in that trailer.
Caleb Howard
god bless you OP
Oliver Rivera
Thanks man, you have any traditional Russian music by any chance?
Christian Stewart
Very nice album with traditional Scottish music surrounding the two Jacobite Rebellions. Anybody got albums similar to this but with Irish songs?
Samuel Sanchez
Sure, uploading a few things for you to the archive.
Christian Gomez
Damn man you are the best, thanks for that!
Juan Hill
I didn't even know there were threads for this kinda stuff.

Hi!

Hello!

Now completed.

I see Scotland isn't on there. If you're looking for Scottish music I can't recommend The Royal Scots Dragoon Guard enough. Best pipe band ever and also the old cavalry regiment in the British army.
Jackson Thomas
I find it unfair to group England, Wales and Scotland into the one nation, they all have their own very distinct traditional music
Cooper Perez
Kayden Parker

With all the SLSK ones I've found, this is what I have so far, still missing many.
If anyone has anything, please share.
Camden Roberts
You guys know any RYM lists for this? i go into very autismal downloading sprees from lists, so I might as well have it be great music.
Zachary Gutierrez
Sorry, don't use RYM (anymore) so I wouldn't know.
