"Folk" music

[chantaje]

Folklore (or lore) consists of legends, music, oral history, proverbs, jokes, popular beliefs, fairy tales, stories, tall tales, and customs that are the traditions of a culture, subculture, or group.

setting that i will ask you; what is your folk music exponent?, whats the artist that express your "national" identity.
Knowing that people from all around the world read this forum. i wish to know about the folk music of your country, thats inaccessible to me or at least you know better about your culture than i know.

i will introduce my initiative by showing what in my opinion is the greatest musician of the last decades of my country, Astor Piazzolla


Adiós Nonino (Farewell, granddad) is a composition by tango composer Ástor Piazzolla, written in October 1959 while in New York, in memory of his father, Vicente "Nonino" Piazzolla, a few days after his father's death

Astor Piazzolla described tango as "music of buenos aires". tango was a music of the rio de la plata, (including uruguay) were the biggest cities of the area were at the moment (early XX century).

Nothing, i know that we are all individuals, and that we should be independent of any cultural association. we all are "citizens of the world" after all.
or at least Homo sapiens sapiens.

i want to reformulate my question, what theme (musical or not), do you recognize to represent you neighborhood, town, city or country?
