Re: Armenian Folk Music

Hello Folks

I am British (of Dutch/Irish decent) am based in central London and I adore traditional Armenian culture and folk music.

I just ordered Anush, Inga Arshakyan – Tamzara 2006 album on CD today. However I had to order it from the US, as I couldn't find a European distributor.

You can hear the album online at.

Durban, half Mexican and half Irish of descent

Mexican (Nahuatl-Mayan) - Irish (70% Iberian Celt - 30% Norse/Anglo-Norman). Interesting admixture. However I'm not surprised as the Irish at least outside of Ireland aren't especially ethnocentric. My mother lives in Dublin and I spend a fair amount of time there.

I've traveling right around SA a few times however I've only stayed in Durban for few days. It has lovely beaches. However it's my understanding that it gets unbearably humid there during the summer.


Take a look at this Cornish singer Emily Ovenden.

Song of Tomorrow (Cornish) - Cornish is like Welsh only much rarer.

I think that she's lovely in this rather romantic video. Bit like a Cornish princess. Pity it's in English and not Cornish!

Celtic Legend - The Boatman

She also is part of the folk group Mediaeval Baebes and a Gothic rock group:

I Am Eve (Old Irish - Gaeilge)
