Your countries' traditional music...

[Achernar]

All countries have traditional music, so I thought it'd be interesting to hear yours'.

Our traditional music is called "Fado", here's a sample song By Carlos Paredes (click his photo to get the song...):



The used instrument is the one in the photo. A 12 strings portuguese guitar. I guess this sample will sound weird to some of you...

I guess American traditional music is bluegrass, Appalachian music, country , Native American music, jazz,etc. Traditional music from other countries is pretty popular over here too.
