17 years on youtube, less than a minute long, but I still think this is one of the folk music videos that hits me the hardest on there... legendary violinist Ion Albeşteanu, and the very professorial cobzar Marin Cotoanţă... ah, to sit among the reeds in capes and hammer out a hora with your chum..

Live Performance of “Gleann Na Aes Sídhe”
this album I mentioned in my recent thread of new #klezmer albums on #bandcamp came out in full today and I'm giving it a listen now. it's good!
Stylistically it kind of reminds me of Veretski Pass (bay area klez chamber trio) which is very high praise.

A lovely couple of hours at Eden Court Theatre tonight with their Under Canvas music sessions starting again for the summer - the four piece fiddle group "Rant" on stage giving it laldy here. #tradmusic #livemusic #fiddle
A thread of recent #klezmer albums worth checking out – Black Rooster Kapelye's "Vos mir Zaynen." A Latvian project drawing on historical Jewish scores collected by folklorist Emilis Melngailis. Multilingual, multi-style, including members of Forshpil.

A thread of recent #klezmer albums worth checking out – Jake Shulman-Ment and Abigale Reisman's "Two Strings." Two of the top klez fiddlers of the US East Coast, IMO this collaboration displays their love of crunchy string ensemble rhythms, baroque melodies and nigunim.

A thread of recent #klezmer albums worth checking out –
Zoë Aqua's "In a Sea of Stars" recorded in two Romanian synagogues during a recent tour. Like a fusion of klezmer and Transylvanian fiddle music, the logical result of her several years of field work in the region.

4/ final - Finishing off the #MusicVideo thread for a Friday evening, and continuing the #CelticMusic theme, here are Cape Breton Island’s Beaton Sisters playing on the stage of the #CelticColours music festival. This is one of my favorite pieces ever. It starts slow, but if it doesn’t get your feet tapping by the end… you don’t have a pulse or you’re stone deaf. #Music #Fiddle #CapeBreton #CapeBretonIsland #CanadianMusic #CanadianMade https://youtu.be/xCSk5waVkxI?si=Cj17DvUzk8rsFVYs
Any musically inclined #trans and/or #queer AF people out there, I'm curious what y'all do or would do in this situation.
I've been learning #mandolin. I'm realizing at some point I should be looking to join a session group, but I'm not really sure what to do. I'm into #bluegrass, Irish and Scottish #folk, Old Time, that sort of thing. #Fiddle music.
I've got a couple issues, though.
Those Memories of You, performed by The Splinters.

#NowPlaying - clinging desperately to (& savoring) these last pre-gross nights before sealing in with AC for the summer, aided currently by the calming #fiddle drones of mike gangloff's newish "april is passing" https://vhfrecords.bandcamp.com/album/april-is-passing @vinylrecords #acoustic #drone
