Here's a unique example of 'folk music' -Elephonic Rhapsodies - one of the most bizarre examples of musical creativity I've ever come across! Turn your speakers on and treat yourself to some real 'soul music', improvised on specially modified instruments by a herd of 12 elephants dubbed "The Thai Elephant Orchestra"!

Here's a bit more info about the Elephant Orchestra, some reviews and more soundbites. I swear those beasts rival most of the 'new-age' artists out there - enjoy!
