The Lativan song is called Migla Migla, Rasa Rasa (Fog, Dew). In Serbian this would be Magla Magla, Rosa Rosa. There are many words similar.

[Aunt Hilda]

so latvian is your favorite?

[RussiaPrussia]

you talk about culture but it must be only from EU

either you were lazy or you didnt want to have certain countries

[Aunt Hilda]

you talk about culture but it must be only from EU

well, I guess the bagpipes are more familiar to you than the spanish 'pasodoble' you posted.

but the most popular and widespread folklore in spain is 'la jota', that is played in many regions.

this an aragonese jota.

[Alenka]

You forgot my neighbor Norway.
Pallantides will go completely nuts on you.
Norway is not a EU member.

[Lobotomist]

Norway is not a EU member.

It is some kind of misunderstanding. Polka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polka) is not Polish folk dance or music genre. It is of Czech origin. The name is confusing, but Poles did not invent ‘polka’ :)

Traditional Polish folk dances are for example “oberek”, "kujawiak", "mazur" or "krakowiak".
