    Default Which Europeans have the best folk music tradition?

    In your opinion which European groups have the best folk music traditions? Please post some examples with your answer.

    For me all of the Celts are among the best, particularly Irish:





    And Bretons:





    I also think Scandos, in particular Swedes, have a great musical tradition:



    Unfortunately many English folk music traditions were lost as far as I know, but Northumbrian traditions are grand:

    If Romanian music is considered Balkan, I agree, pretty good stuff:

    In Carpathian region you will find one of the most interesting folk music in entire Europe. But I agree with the OP, in Western Europe ethnicities of Celtic origin have the best folk music.
