Music I found on YouTube...

You can thank these guys for Wardruna. Gåte invented the genre back in the 1990s, they're the mother of Nordic progressive folk rock music and Wardruna and Heilung.

Mongolian/ Iranian band. Been to their concert, best one of my life.

This is brand new to me, but sounds amazing, and you definitely opened up a wormhole or a rabbit hole or whatever it is I’m about to dive down. This is cool, I came to this forum to talk about my brain and figure out stuff, I didn’t expect to also find amazing new music from everyone else.
 
This is Heilung's newest song, from their upcoming album. The music video is (from a video editor's perspective) a cinematic masterpiece. And listening to the song separately from the video unleashed all kinds of emotions in me and made me cry. They are not singing in my native language so I don't understand the words and I don't need to, to appreciate the power and beauty of the music.

I read a comment that said something to the effect of "You don't listen to Heilung with your ears. You listen to Heilung with your heart." I can confirm that this is true, at least for me. And being a percussionist, I am particularly captivated by the drum rhythms they use in their music. They have been a huge inspiration to me as a folk drummer.

For those of you who like Wardruna and Heilung, you would probably like the band Skald too (I think they’re from France, but they also perform the same type of Nordic folk music.)
Shireen is another one of my personal favorites, although her music is a bit different to this but not entirely dissimilar.
For fans of European folk music and traditional music I also recommend the Ukrainian band Go_A.
