I believe that was a bazouki he was playing, not that I know how it is distinguished musically. There are some surprising ( to me anyhow) variations on instrumentation in traditional Irish music. Last night I saw a great sextet of guitar, pipes, accordion, fiddle, and 2 banjos. Played very well together ( I guess I should a modern adaptation of traditional Irish music since obviously banjos are an African American derivative of African instruments: ain't music wonderful!)

@mr peabody...it would be interesting to know, when you mention "world music thread" what countries you are posing to involve in the thread (also, ones that may be excluded)...will political factions be involved? Will those "world" communities excluded in the daily, news (ones in the periphery of war/territorial takeovers)be included/excluded! Will religion be included/excluded? Will tribal differentiation be included/excluded etc? Will factions of breakaway groups (from sovereign territory) be included)excluded? Will organised, terrorism be included) excluded?...how many of these people can be involved in a thread entitled: "world music" by you?

...imagine:
Lady Gaga hedged-in with Willie Nelson
Or, Kanye West with JD Lang...etc. "US Music"

That is what this thread is about. Bullshit, ideology 😉

I would encourage the inclusion of music of an authentic or traditional cultural nature from any country.
 
Define, "authentic"?

Is this to do with indigenous people's or, ones perception of it? Or, political ideals around "exotic" cultures?...it's very diffuse & quite patronising imho- Insofar as, "tribute" music to cultures or, countries - which is weirdly political & appears to be a hang-up?

For me, music of an authentic cultural nature - especially the traditional ethnic expression of a national people - is politically agnostic. 🙏

...there is no "national people" anymore - most governments along with the WEF (& every other us hedge fund) have erased "national identity" with the concept of "diversity ", in favour of globalism to keep the markets profitable.

Ignorance is not an excuse.(Not annoyed with you personally but just your ignorance)

I have to say, that I myself am quite oblivious to what I would characterize as modern foolishness, à la Dead Can Dance.
 
It's not a crime/sin/ignorance, to be oblivious of matters; it's only worthy of judgement, when you've been informed & chose to ignore it. Then you're a bonafide moron.
