Folk music from Norway
From the beautiful, colorful folk music collection, I would like to highlight a folk instrument that has escaped my attention so far - the langeleik.
The langeleik, also called langleik, is a Norwegian stringed folklore musical instrument, a droned zither. The combination of the lone melody string and the multiple drone strings gives the langeleik a distinctively rich sound.
Tracklist:
Side 1
1. Gammel Skogbygding, Masurka
2. Gråkalldansen, Reinlender
3. Spåleken, Pols
4. Vals
5. Polsdansen Hinnes Bestmor
6. Gjetarlåt Fra Elv'rom
Side 2
1. Vi Tei Oss På Tak, Galopp
2. Litj'hurven, Rørospols
3. Gammelvals

John Dowland - Lachrimae or seven Teares
This is not a folk music album, but as before, I would like to share a wonderful musical material from a very interesting musical era for me, where the Renaissance bids farewell to us and gives way to the Baroque. And for this symbolic ceremony, the viola da gamba family of instruments provides beautiful, solemn music. John Dowland (2 Jan. 1563 - 20 Feb. 1626) lived and created during this era. In a year, it will be the 400th anniversary of his death.

Trio Los Paraguayos
1958
1957
I also found these two old singles in a second-hand shop. Both were in very bad and worn condition, but they must have been played many times over the decades. The record skips and glitches were fixed with some cleaning, but the crackling remained. But this is forgivable with such old records and the vintage feeling is even stronger.

Side A
1. Maria Dolores
2. Serenata
Side B
1. Malaguena
2. Pajaro compana

Through Yugoslavia in song and dance
When the song of the southern neighbor came through, we didn't close it, we opened the window. Just as the youth never returns, that country, that environment and that attitude to life will never be there again. Musical nostalgia continues. These melodies were part of the evening radio listening. In the 1970s and 1980s, in the southern part of Hungary, close to the Yugoslav border, their radio stations were excellently received, and we often heard these melodies and songs in the musical composition of the national programs.
Tracks:
Side A
1. Moravac
2. Dimitrio sine Mitre
3. Ah Meraka u večeri rane
4. Ej sviće zore
5. Fantje se zbirajo
Side B

Karl Grönstedts Spelmansorkester with Skansens Spelmanslag
Karl Johan Grönstedt, (born 18 February 1912 in Nora, Ångermanland, died 13 June 1983) in Högalids parish, Stockholm, was a Swedish accordion player.
He is considered one of the foremost accordion players in Sweden and began playing dance music at the age of twelve. In addition to becoming Swedish accordion champion in 1933, he received about ten first prizes in other competitions between 1932 and 1944. In the early 1930s he came to Stockholm and played at Vanadisteatern, Kastenhof and Virveln. He had his own orchestra which was based in Ådalen from 1936 to 1941. His brother Erling Grönstedt was also an accordion player.
Karl Grönstedt has composed a lot of accordion music, including the well-known "Månsken över Ångermanälven", "Hoppa lätt" and "Spelmanswalsen". He appeared in the film "100 accordions and a girl."
Grönstedt is mentioned in Povel Ramel's Birth of the gammeldans from the revue På avigan (1966).
Karl Grönstedt ran a shop at Borgargatan 4 until 1975 in a street location that was later taken over by Högalids Bilservice.

Ansambl "Biljana" Ohrid
Tradidional contemporary Macedonian music from an era that will never return. I know that this disc is available and can be listened to in many places, but I still deal with it.
