This is the first post in the new folk music community. Use this to say hello and, if you want to, say what kind of tradition you come from or are into. I'll begin saying that I am mostly making and listening to western european traditions, such as Irish jigs and reels or scandinavian polskas.

Hello. Thank you for making this community. I live in Scotland and listen to traditional musics from around the world. My favourite instrument is the kamancheh (Persian spiked fiddle) and my favourite traditions are Romani and Balkan Brass.
