Subject: Review: BBC Folk Programming Lacks German Folk
Ok....Where is the German Folk music on the BBC?
I listen to many hours of folk music programming on BBC.
Three programs religiously.
I hear lots of-
-american folk, blues, gospel a wide spectrum
-Lots of latin.spanish greek, turkish
-Mexican/salsa celtica
-Afro inspired, Immagined village, afro celt
-Sweedish- (tudor plays one a week)
-french
Yiddish (no its not german)
No german?
Have I missed it or maybe they just dont know about the great zither music and alpine music that is out there to say nothing of oktoberfest traditional etc....
