Orkiestra św. Mikołaja - Folk from Poland

The Saint Nicholas Orchestra is an amazing folk band from Poland. Their instrumental repertoire covers anything from traditional Central European instruments like violin over Hungarian koboz to Perso-Turkic dutar and saz. They reminded me of the Warsaw Village Band but yet different of course. In any case a really interesting band:) ENJOY!

Raimundos - Mulher de Fases

Raimundos is one of the best Brazilian hardcore bands, most active in the late 90's. They mix up rock and música nordestina (from Brazilian Northeast). This is their song Mulher de Fases.

Now, before you think that only Brazilians cover Argentinians and not the other way round, here is a cover of Mulher de Fases from the reggae band Los Pericos, called Complicado y Aturdido. The lyrics are widely changed.
