Hello @Rossy92 and members of "Aural Adventures". I hope that my first offering of the above is acceptable to your eclectic tastes.

FrayedBear Level 9 Sep 29, 2018

Before I comment on the post, I must be frank in revealing that Traditional fare such as this was not in my original conception for Aural Adventures. Such music has a nice, cozy home, here in this group, or perhaps in World music, and I still feel the same about most of it. Where I feel some of this music could have a good fit for Aural Adventures is in the area of genre-bending and crossover appeal. Perhaps the odd piece employing Traditional elements which also includes electric guitar, or Jazz or Blues or Pop elements, or playing of harmonic passages, etc. Concerning the post, the vocal "wailing" which began about halfway through was, for me, the best part. The least favorable aspect was the vocal chant which had a weird adenoidal quality. It didn't sound exactly nasal, but had a similarity to the voice of the cartoon character Olive Oyl. Is that the sound of a vowel or consonant in that dialect? So not exactly a "meh" or a "like". Sheerly on the grounds of stylistic components, I don't find this suitable for the Aural Adventures group. But I believe that you and your many group members surely must have acquaintance with pieces which fit the parameters I outlined above.

@Rossy92 Strictly speaking no because until something has been played, enjoyed ,manipulated and localised for 100-150 years it is does not fit the definition of folk or tradition - it is merely in the idiom. To liken a sound to Olive Oyl is ignoring the probability that the Disney created sound was purloined from existing tradition.
Take for example the Tenores di Bitti singing in a style possibly 6000 years old :

"You can't help but feel that you are in the presence of antiquity when you first listen to the four men singing in the Canto a Tenore style. That's understandable for no one knows just how old the music actually is. It is found rooted most strongly in central Sardinia where it's traceable to the poets of antiquity. For the style is a trio of background singers who produce the nonsense syllable setting on which the bache, or solo voice, sings the melody and poetry text. But it isn't quite that simple. The bassu and contra singers produce a guttural effect by tension of the vocal chords with nasal overtones, creating a resonance found only in Morocco, Northern Syria, and Tuva. Combined with the mesa 'oche, a high register voice that we would think of as tenor, a cascade of natural harmonics is produced called concordu by the Sardinians."

And in concert in San Paolo in 2005 four more:

@FrayedBear Upon reflection I anticipated this response and wished I had gone one step further to state with more specificity what I have in mind. Among accomplished purveyors of traditional fare (Chieftans, Planxty, Bothy Band, Alan Stivell, etc.), I know that at least some have on occasion branched out into blends of other genres. That is mainly what I am interested in for my Aural Adventures group, which I feel many members of your group would have acquaintance with. Authentic fare deserves it's recognition and has a home in your group. I designed my group to cater to what I felt was lacking elsewhere.

@Rossy92 During my time broadcasting folk music programs it is probable that a reasonable percentage of that time was occupied by crossovers and attempts to make tradition compatico with current flavours of music performance. This started way before the Chieftains, Planxty, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan. By and large they were passing fads and attempts to piggy back off the popularity of pop music at that date. Off far more significance were the likes of the Everly Bros, Grieg, Beethoven, Ewan McColl, Dvorak, Robert Burns, Johnny Cash, Paul Robeson who have all had long lasting effect on modern music as well as adding to the tradition.

The Tenores di Bitti whilst frequently being recognisable as antiquity based have as much entitlement to representation on modern concert stages and I would have thought within the environment of your members here, the majority of whom I suspect have never heard them or this style before.
