I will take part again. Seeing the current theme, I will most probably go for the Swedish folk music trio Skäggmansl*g.t. Ryttarpolskan efter Erik Ljung "Kusen" Polska från Enviken efter Röjås Jonas Edited by The Anders - January 31 2022 at 15:45 |

What an excellent selection of music this is! Already one of my favourite editions. You guys really rock!
 @Christian, how lovely of you to notice my opening acts. Helge is just one-of-a-kind!  Edited by Mila-13 - January 31 2022 at 06:51 |

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo. The Spanish translation of "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome".
Leo Kottke - The Train and the Gate/Vaseline Machine Gun Medley. One of my favorite slide guitarists. Michael Hedges - Ragamuffin. Gone far too early. Miss you Mike. Edited by The Dark Elf - January 30 2022 at 19:50 |

Tumi
Mogorosi: Gift of Three (ZAF-2014) Tumi
Mogorosi, is a drummer and composer from Johannesburg. He is one outstanding
representative of South Africa’s new jazz generation. This is a piece from his critically
celebrated debut album Project ELO, which I can highly recommend Danay Suárez ft. Roberto Fonseca: Preguntas (CUB-2017) Danay Suárez
is a musician from Havana and belongs to the inner circle of the new Cuban alternative scene. Thanks
to her talent, musical versatility which ranges from hip hop to jazz, and last but not least due to her sociopolitical
commitment she has gained attention in all Latin America and in Europe. This is
a song from her sophomore album Palabras Manuales that includes several collaborations.
For her song Prejuntas (eng. questions) she teamed up with the renowned Cuban jazz pianist
Roberto Fonseca. The song weaves an ethereal story of love and wonder, a deep rumination on life set to the backdrop of her Havana neighbourhood. Alexej Gerassimez ft. Nicolai Gerassimez: Piazonore (DEU-2015) A.G. is a German percussionist and composer from Essen. His repertoire includes contemporary classical music, jazz and minimal music whilst also performing his own works. As a soloist he is a guest with various internationally renowned orchestras in Germany and abroad. In addition, he has several side projects underway. Here he is performing with his brother Nicolai on piano, one of his original compositions, loosely inspired by Piazzolla's Liebertango. They also perform as a trio, together with their other brother Vassily on cello. Edited by Mila-13 - February 01 2022 at 17:07 |

I have seen Trilok Gurtu live twice, the man is a revelation. Unfortunately it's hard to find something on the web that comes close to the world of sounds he can come up with during a 2h live gig. But this one has quite some magic, doesn't it? (Vignola) |

William D. Drake may be fairly well known around here (Ex-Cardiacs keyboarder listed on PA), but his stuff doesn't seem to pick up more than 10 ratings. He does some acoustic gigs that are charmingly devoid of any perfectionism. The original of this piece is on the Mr and Mrs Smith and Mr Blake album that has just one rating (and is devoted to his piano rather than the harpsichord used here). By the way kudos to Mila for opening with Helge!

Lovely idea for a poll, Mila. Looking forward to hearing everyone's entries here. Here are my three:
First up is Myrkur
Leaves of Yggdrasil from “Folksange” 2020 Emerging from the black metal field,
Amalie Bruun goes full Scandinavian folk here. Second, changed to an original, per original instructions is duo Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter, performing Lisa's composition "Luna de Amor," here on harp and viola. Both are, incidentally,
multi-instrumentalists. (Out of Competition, due to 7 min. length) Van Morrison Astral Weeks Title Track 1968. This is an extraordinary recording, for those who only know Van Morrison through huge hits. It was released at a time when everyone was going full-on electric and it is primarily acoustic. Decidedly different from anything before or since, it remains always in my personal Top 10 recordings of all time.

probably, I will look either for another song by them, or another artist. No rush, right? The poll is fresh out!

@Cristi It is awesome, and I would like to have it in. Do those guys have songs that are a little bit shorter, 7min or so? This one is a bit longer because it is a live performance, including some great improvisation.  Edited by Mila-13 - January 30 2022 at 13:01 |

Oh good, PA with few reviews... So here they are, with clarinet, violin, cello and accordion... On some albums they also have some electronics joining this instrumentation, but not on the track proposed here (from the album Eight Definitions, with 11 ratings and no reviews).

With the 6 minutes rule, my first song does not qualify, but I'll leave it there for you to listen because it's awesome.  I'll think of another song.

I have changed the rules. Lesser-known bands from PA are eligible now (up to 50 reviews), there is a time limit of 6 min. though.

That's good. I had completely forgotten that Hellborg is on PA. Album only has 7 ratings and no reviews.

NOTE Since I have already introduced a rule about the length of the songs (6 minutes) I decided to allow the selection of prog artists and bands with less than 50 reviews. Edited by Mila-13 - January 30 2022 at 12:19 |
