Great version of the classic folk song from Kate Rusby in her early days in The Poozies. I wish there was more harp in folk music, it has such a lovely sound:

The Poozies - Maid of Llanwellyn

Quite bewitching I find:

Karen Matheson - Fear a' Bhàta

Karen Matheson - Mi le M' uilinn

Karen Matheson - I Will Not Wear the Willow

Julie Fowlis at Celtic Connections

If you like this kinda thing, I recommend tuning into BBC Alba which plays a lot of gaelic folk music.
Those of you with Freesat - it's on channel 110. Best TV channel there is for folk music.

Absolutely

I love having Ravi Shankar's music on in the background during yoga(asana/pranayama/dhyana,etc), and now looking forward to adding these songs, they'll be perfect.

Glad you enjoyed them, and nice to meet a fellow yogi.

I only practise hatha yoga but I love it and, paradoxically, find it both relaxing and energising.

Here are some of the tunes I like to play when doing yoga or tai chi:

Ananda Vdovic - Durgaashtakam

Sheila Chandra - Nana

Craig Pruess & Ananda - Lalitha Ashtotram

Maya - In The Wake of Beauty

This is from a goa trance album I have (as you may tell from the name of the song) but is more world music than electronic in my opinion. Very pretty either way:

Aqua Sufi - Industrial Suicide Tribe

Something else like Odetta?

Cat Stevens - Wild World

Cat Stevens - Peace Train

I've posted this before, but a long, long time ago. Hopefully it'll be new to someone on here, and it'll make them smile, and so the world will be a little better. Don't underestimate small deeds.

Lovely:

Hatful of Rain - Way Up On The Hill

A classic:

Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where The Time Goes

Fairport Convention - Matty Groves

Mr. Charlie · 12-08-2015, 11:39 AM

Folky folk time:

Kate Rusby - Old Man Time

A song about war:

The Imagined Village - My Son John
