^^ That ain't the real folk.

if it's old it's good enough for me

Kičas, chaltūra, masinis produktas

na, Valstybinis dainų ir šokių ansamblis turbūt nėra pats baisiausias kičas Lietuvoje.

There's no difference between: the imported Swiss choir singing & the Sovietski Bullshitski style.
So, I'll just quote what one Russky once wrote about the latter.

The author of the text is spot on. There was much bull-shit during soviet era during which neo-folk soviet-style or folk of particular style was promoted. With all due respect to professional dancers and choreographers spending many months and years perfecting their performances, they could record raw un-altered folk songs and dancing for future generations even if they didn't see them entertaining at the time.
