Ethnic Music
"Therefore I am not in favour of raising any dogmatic banner. On the contrary, we must try to help the dogmatists to clarify their propositions for themselves. Thus, communism, in particular, is a dogmatic abstraction; in which connection, however, I am not thinking of some imaginary and possible communism, but actually existing communism as taught by Cabet, Dézamy, Weitling, etc. This communism is itself only a special expression of the humanistic principle, an expression which is still infected by its antithesis – the private system. Hence the abolition of private property and communism are by no means identical, and it is not accidental but inevitable that communism has seen other socialist doctrines – such as those of Fourier, Proudhon, etc. – arising to confront it because it is itself only a special, one-sided realisation of the socialist principle."

Re: Ethnic Music
Hi Dogukan
Im not a very big fan of "ethnic" music, or how I like to call it "folk" music, but I have some artists from the gengre very high on my list, who I like to listen to when in a certain mood.
Since Im half Roma/gypsy half German and lived in the Netherlands for a long time, I thought I post some stuff I like from Germany and Holland and soma Roma stuff. I hope you enjoy.
Andre Hazes(RIP): He whas probablly the biggest folksinger in Holland for decades, with a blues aproach to his music, sometimes even swinging like Sinatra, although he always looked as a toad(he will forgive, he had lots of humor). I like to listen to him when totally drunk in a bar with friends after a hard week of working. I really had great times with this mans music.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5leVQeK_3Ws
This is from Herbert Grönemeyer, a German folksinger who sings about his hometown Bochum. Maybe the uglyest city in Germany, but still his home with the people he knows and loves etc.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FN8fYSNSlt4
Some biautifull German/Russian/Roma music, with two really fine ladys.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=L0C2waHVJPk
Two guys impersonating Django Reinhardt and his sidekick pretty good.
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lm3cUcKZ13w
I know you said no "popular" music, but I guess this combo of folksinger Karel Gott and the rapper Bushido is still A OK. Rap is like "folk" or "ethnic" music where Im from anyway.

Re: Ethnic Music
@Dogukan
Nice adition, but to slow for me. Im not melancholic enough to really dig that, maybe in 10 years or so. Therefore I wrote down the artists names, so I can later look them up.

Re: Ethnic Music
So I suppose this is about more modern songs in style ofancient fol music?
In Croatia there is no single national sound as country is very regional, but two most famous traditional styles from two biggest regions, Slavonija and Dalmacija are klapa and tamburica.
This is Slavonian tamburica music from northeastern Croatia
This is Dalmatian klapa music
And if I'm wrong about the kind of music I'm supposed to post, I suppose closest to real ethno music such as Bregović's (but at less epic scale), but with Dinaric sound and sometimes pre christian Slavic themes (or so I read, I don't listen to them) are Mojmir Novaković and Kries. Though they seem to preform even African variants in some songs.

Re: Ethnic Music
I can't believe they've let this topic go past the first page. Amazing thread.
I've refrained so far from posting because I've my doubts if some "Brazilians" genres can be considered exactly "ethnic", but I'll post one of the oldest Afro-sambas around, the "Canto de Ossanha".
In this video, a Russian duo plays their arrangement of the song. They're very talented.
Aru: Great videos. I did not know Croatia had such rich musical tradition.
Bovril: Awesome. I've never thought I'd hear "The Cutty Wren" in these boards. Rep+Proud Client of Obi Wan Asterix

Re: Ethnic Music
Dogukan, here is a Karachay folk song, sung in Turkish. Unfortunately the only authentic Karachay version on youtube is from the 80s, with horrible synthesised instrumentation.
And a Russian song, played on the Russian 7-string guitar (performed by a Polish guy from Australia
):
